Netflix says these are the episodes of your favorite TV shows that got you hopelessly addicted

Netflix is on a mission to bring down the "pilot" system of television, in which a TV show lives or dies on the success of its first episode.

And now Netflix has some hard data to back up its position. Netflix has done some analysis on which episode of a TV series actually gets us hooked, and it varies series by series, according to The Verge. The data point Netflix focused on was the one special episode after which 70% of people kept watching until the end of the season - in other words, the episode that got them addicted to the show.

Some shows took longer to grab viewers, like "How I Met Your Mother," whose pivotal episode was number 8 ("The Duel"). Others bewitched the audience from the start: "Sons of Anarchy" and "Breaking Bad" both took just until episode 2.

Below you'll find 25 of the most popular Netflix shows - in alphabetical order - along with their respective "turning point" episode and accompanying Netflix description of the episode.
