I'm sorry if this has been done before but it's 2.30 am, as always I can't sleep and was just thinking about tv shows that we think for whatever reason we will hate them but then we end up really liking.

For me recently it has to be Game of Thrones.

I'm not sure why but I had been oblivious to the whole phenomenon and despite knowing many people that loved it I was against it. I am not sure why I was just convinced it wasn't for me and I didn't want to read or hear anything about it.

Then one day it was on tv and I thought what the hell I'll give it a go fully expecting to hate it, 10 minutes in I already knew I had fallen unequivocally in love with it and there was no turning back.

Episode after episode I was hooked, it had me. The show oddly is so not what I thought it be and the acting and scripts are out of this world. Four seasons marathoned and I couldn't love the show more or get enough of it, interviews, books, magazines, merchandise, anything lol.
It is such a wonderful show to watch, I am not sure how I lived without it.

Are there any shows you have had similar experiences? Tell us about it, about the show? :)

I'm going to shameless attract all the pop funko people so someone answers my thread :( lol

Tosh.0 is way more enjoyable than I really thought it would be. I actually didn't watch it when it first came on and only caught some episodes while killing time at the in-laws. But I know watch it regularly. That and Venture Brothers just kills it for what is essentially an adult cartoon
 
I didnt think I would like Broadchurch until my Wife pursuaded me to watch the second series have to say its brilliant and I cant wait for series 3 to start

Ron
 
How to Get Away With Murder - I wasn't sure how the story could continue on, but the writers have done a great job with advancing the storyline o far. I am looking forward to the next season.
 
Smallville my Mrs loves it so I bought her the box set for Christmas now I cant stop watching it myself.
 
I didnt think i would like Elemtentary, partly being a prejudice and not wanting an American show to compete with the Great British show of Sherlock. However after wathing a season and a half I am really enjoying it. No its not as good as Sherlock, but it is very different and very entertaining. I thoroughly recommend this for anyone to watch, it is ground breaking, I wont say its in my top 5 TV shows ever but I am loving it so far!!!
 
For me it was Supernatural watched the 1st season with mrs I hated it by the end she then got the 2nd season still didn't like it by the 3rd it was growing on me and wanted to know more the story so by season 5 I was hooked she got bored a now I'm half way through season 10.
 
deffo game of thrones , everyone was telling me to watch it but i couldnt bring myself to do so , but when i did on the 3 season mark , boy it was pretty good
 
I didn't think I'd like that new show "The 100" but after watching a few episodes the story really grew on me...love it now. Same with Marvel Agents of Shield...was slow to start for me, but really like it now too!
