Netflix knows the episodes that make you binge-watch the series
Viewers were hooked on to Breaking Bad long before Walter White became Heisenberg. According to a Netflix data analysis, the second episode, where Walt and Jesse flipped a coin to see who would kill Krazy 8, turned viewers into fans. The on-demand video streaming site has scanned global streaming data across 25 massively popular shows (including House of Cards, Dexter, Mad Men, Sense8 and more) to zone in on the "hooked episode", when 70% of the viewers who watched that episode went on the finish the entire season. While viewers are often pulled into the plot of a show early on in its inaugural season, the exact "hooked" episodes vary from show to show.
Channel Master TV review
If you prefer your DVR with no strings attached, your choices are pretty limited these days. You can of course roll your own, but admittedly, that isn't for everyone. Channel Master does plan to change that, though, as it's currently accepting pre-orders for its over-the-air DVR with over-the-top features that doesn't require a subscription. The Channel Master TV ($399) should be hitting retailers and homes this week, and since we love DVRs, especially when they're free from commitments, we decided to take it for a spin. Click through to see how it stacks up.
