I just watched Dexter for the first time last month, does that mean I didn’t deserve to get the experience of not knowing what would happen while watching? People watch old shows for the first time all the time. As someone who has watched Breaking Bad twice, the meme isn’t even funny. It basically only exists to spoil the plot and ruin the experiences of other people. How are you choosing to defend that?
There’s already someone in the comments who has been spoiled by this because they haven’t finished watching the show.
No, but this is an insanely popular show from 18 years ago.
It’s well past the common courtesy of not openly discussing spoilers online. No different than posting something referring to Ross/Rachel, Jim/Pam, The Sopranos, Darth Vader being Luke’s father, Luke/Leia being siblings, etc
Editing to add, it’s your job when watching an old show to avoid spoilers. I managed to watch the entirety of the Sopranos for the first time a few months ago without getting any spoilers, because I just skipped over anything that referenced it without actually reading it. Very simple, you see a character you know -> you skip.
Another example: although Better Call Saul is also in the zeitgeist, I’ve managed to steer clear of spoilers for it so nothing will be ruined when I do.
These shows are old & popular, it’s not reasonable to expect everyone to avoid talking about them in perpetuity
When someone kicks you in the nuts, I hope you remember that it’s actually your fault for having nuts in the first place and not avoiding people who possess legs capable of kicking.
It’s over a decade old

And that means they don’t get to enjoy it if they started watching it later? This post has no value beyond ruining the suspense.

Interesting choice to make a false equivalence between show spoilers and physical assault whilst simultaneously disregarding the points I made
Yeah… That wasn’t a stat i was happy to find out either ;-;
