Bottle Episodes You Should Really Check Out

If you’re looking for a new TV series to binge-watch, watching the first episode to get to know the series is a rookie mistake! Opt for bottle episodes, because the characters are usually developed and established in episodes like this. Also, the confined nature of these episodes makes it very easy for the viewers to understand the characters’ dynamics.

Here are a few bottle episodes you should give a watch!
