Trailer

I watch the trailer with the wife of several different shows , chat about what we like and our preferences , what we fancy watching , see what other people have said about the shows .


Then we just watch whatever she wants.

B, C, and F (Sherdog's opinion)

Carefully assess if there's quality boobs in it.

It takes a hell of a lot for me to get into a new show. Usually it has to be related to something I already like......like a video game or comic

Just check imdb ratings really. And browse a few reviews there, critic and user reviews. And yeah read the plot section there in IMDb.

I also usually listen to friends recommendations and start something they say they think I will like, or that they enjoyed.

I don’t really bother with trailers at all.

Trailer and overall rating. If it's poorly received I don't bother.

In the past, I tried watching each new show. The ones I liked were usually canceled. Now I watch mostly YouTube videos. When I do watch television, the commercials really annoy me.

I installed Rakuten Viki app and I watched a chunk of first episode of what was rated TV-MA and couldn't understand what made it that rating. There was no premium cable type content at all.

 

[Bobby00]

I watch the pilot. If i like it i keep on watching if not i move on.

For movie, trailer or look at the name/cast/genre.

For mini series, the time investment is much higher, so I check reviews to make sure it's worth it.

I rarely watch TV shows.

if i watch a show, it's usually established as really good and eventually get to it. don't look up any trailers and try to go in as fresh as possible.

B and C

I almost never watches trailer for movies or for TV. There is a chance either the trailer give out too much spoilers, or straight up lie to us what the movies/TV is about. I like going in blind with a fresh mind.

I don't read online reviews nor listen to critics as well. I've like films where critics shit on and dislike what they praise.

Film is like food to me, find a few friends that have similar taste. If they recommend it, watch/eat it. Majority of the time I use this method, I don't get disappointed.

I try not and spoil it and go off word of mouth. I try and save imdbing until I get into it
I like the surprise

 

[Jackonfire]

Usually read the plot and maybe watch the trailer. I don't really pay attention to ratings or critics. I know what I like.

 

[NoSmilez]

Trailer. I try to avoid reviews from critics and people. Sherdog is kinda crazy sometimes when they pan a movie. I am pretty sure nobody here is going to watch the little mermaid remake but there was a huge uproar over it.

 

[Thrawn33]

Sherdog and trailers, unless it's a show based on something I'm familiar with (book, comic, ect)

 

[Fedorgasm]

If I don't know anything about it then I might watch a trailer, not if it's something I've already decided to watch then I try not to watch trailers as they give away too much.
