The Sopranos 

Same here.

 

I didn't watch it until a few years ago.  The perception I had of it before hand was it very much portrayed/stereotyped the worst aspects of Italian American culture.

 

Maybe that's true but it was still very well acted.

 

Solid 3 of 4 stars from me.

Dexter. I had no plans to watch it, but by chance I did, and I was gripped immediately.

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, I usually hate musicals and the description on Netflix sounded strange. Watched it anyways, became one of my favorite Shows ever.

I agree 100% , it’s so different to what I normally watch but that’s what made it such an enjoyable experience. I definitely understand the hype now

Seinfeld. That show is S tier comedy. I never thought it would be that kind of funny. Im now on season 5.

I put off Law & Order: Organized Crime because the format is quite different but it’s interesting, I really like it

the iCarly reboot was so good for no reason  I still can’t believe it was cancelled 

I started Based on a True Story only because I think Chris Messina is hot but it ended up being so fun, I loved it

Honestly Stranger Things. It didn’t seem at all like my kind of show but during season 4 all the hype made me finally give it a try. I binged the whole thing in a couple weeks and it honestly became one of my favorite shows

Game of Thrones for SURE. I even tried to watch it with my husband (early boyfriend at the time) and was like “can we not” but got completely hooked on season 5 when he was watching it in real time, started all over, and now have watched it twice

I couldn't get through season 2 of that show. Season 1 was brilliant but my poor attention span said nope to any more after that

That’s fair, it’s definitely a show that takes a lot of attention. Season 4 is by far the best in my opinion (or at least as good as season 1, which is pretty hard to top)
