When did YOU get hooked on your favourite TV show? This is the exact EPISODE it happened

Over average, it took viewers until Episode Three to get HOOKED on Orange is the New Black

NETFLIX has ranked some of its most-viewed shows – and pinpointed the exactly moment people get HOOKED.

 

Netflix has analysed UK and international viewing habits and unearthed the exact episode when the majority of viewers get hopelessly hooked on their favourite TV shows.

Some 70 per cent of Netflix viewers who watched the "hooked episode" then went on to complete season one or more, the US streaming service claims.

Netflix pinpoints Episode Two as the moment of no-going-back for Breaking Bad fans, when the flip of a coin decided whether Jesse or Walt would put the finishing blow on Krazy – and the decrepit heap of a former drug dealer rains down from Jesse’s ceiling.

 

Meanwhile, it took until Episode Three in Orange Is The New Black, with fans identifying the moment Crazy Eyes drops both poems and fluids in her roller-coaster romance with Piper in Orange is the New Black.

And Dexter fans were almost guaranteed to plough through the rest of the season once they had reached the three-hour mark, when Dexter takes a trip down memory lane and relives his inaugural kill.

While around the world the hooked episode was relatively consistent, slight geographic differences did present themselves. 

 

Typically, it takes the UK longer to get to grips with a new show than other counties

The Dutch, for instance, tend to fall in love with series the fastest, getting hooked one episode ahead of most countries regardless of the programme. 

Germans showed early fandom for Arrow whereas France fell first for How I Met Your Mother. 

In Better Call Saul, Jimmy McGill won Brazilians over one episode quicker than Mexicans. 

In Australia and New Zealand, viewers prove to hold out longer across the board, with members getting hooked one to two episodes later than the rest of the world on almost every programme.

Despite these differences, the hooked moment had no correlation to audience size or attrition, regardless of programme, episode number or country.

Netflix recently redesigned its online player, so that it was in-line with the interface on its mobile and tablet apps.
