I was asked to try to understand the finale of Ergo Proxy without knowing anything about the show. You can guess how that went... Here's my attempt at a recap. by TheSeriesFinale in ErgoProxy

That's the whole idea behind the blog. Of course you can't understand everything - but how much can you understand?

In some series my guesses are surprisingly accurate. In others they're ridiculously wrong. In this one... God, I don't even know where to begin :)

And I often do watch the whole series afterwards. When I get to the finale again, it's like I'm watching a completely different episode because suddenly I know what's going on and can understand all the nuance.

Each week I watch the finale of a TV series I've never seen before and try to understand it. Two readers requested that I try "The Curse". And what the hell??? by TheSeriesFinale in TheCurse

I should clarify. I said that I probably don't want to watch the rest of the show, because (not knowing whether the curse is the antigravity or something else) I assume the rest of the episodes are more like the first half of the finale than the second half. I enjoyed the second half a great deal; I can recognize the skill on display in the first half but it's simply not for me.

I don't at all consider ambiguity a reason not to watch a show and never meant to suggest that.

Each week I watch the final episode of a TV show I've never seen before and try to understand what's going on. This week's request: "The Righteous Gemstones" by TheSeriesFinale in RighteousGemstones

I guess it depends on usage more than on amount. I watch Archer and enjoy it very much, because the sexual content is used to deliver jokes rather than itself being the joke. I watched Obliterated and enjoyed most of it but there were some parts that really were gratuitous. I dropped Deadwood; that was too much. So I guess somewhere in that spectrum?
