Given that my job is to cover streaming services for What to Watch, I often have to start far more TV shows than I could feasibly finish. However over the years, I've found a fool-proof way of weeding out the best Netflix shows that doesn't take any time.
This 'test' lets me watch just a single episode of a series on Netflix, be it an original creation or something the streamer added, and determine whether it's an addictive binge or just another forgettable piece of 'content' for the streamer.
