DAE get totally lost in a show's filler episodes?

I was trying to binge 'One Piece' and kept hitting these 10 episode stretches where nothing moved forward. I started skipping any episode with a 'filler' tag on the wiki guide, and it cut my watch time in half. Anyone got a better method for spotting the skippable stuff?

You skipped half the show?

I mean, I watched the first three episodes and it just felt really slow. The main plot with the detective didn't pick up until way later, idk. Maybe it's just me but I lose interest if nothing big happens early on.

Did you miss all the character stuff they were setting up? RileyGarcia has a point about skipping ahead.

Skipping half a show is just wild. You missed all the detective's backstory in ep 4 and 5, that's where the real payoff hits. The slow build is what makes the big moments land. Watching only the first three and quitting is like reading the first chapter of a book and saying you read it.
