Not with TV or movies. They need to grab me right away. I treat TV and movies like short stories. Every sentence needs to move the plot along. In novels it is different, because you lose yourself for hours and hours in a book. with TV shows, I only can give it one or two hours, and if it does not pique my interest by then, then what's the point? There's always something else to watch.
Look at Game of Thrones. They have to cut out maybe 80% of the books because TV does not allow for long exposition, narration, character study, etc. It all needs to be done quickly and fairly superficially. game of Thrones got me hooked right away.
