And now Netflix has some hard data to back up its position. Netflix has done some analysis on which episode of a TV series actually gets us hooked, and it varies series by series, according to The Verge. The data point Netflix focused on was the one special episode after which 70% of people kept watching until the end of the season - in other words, the episode that got them addicted to the show.
Some shows took longer to grab viewers, like "How I Met Your Mother," whose pivotal episode was number 8 ("The Duel"). Others bewitched the audience from the start: "Sons of Anarchy" and "Breaking Bad" both took just until episode 2.
Below you'll find 25 of the most popular Netflix shows - in alphabetical order - along with their respective "turning point" episode and accompanying Netflix description of the episode.
