That's exactly the trap I fell into with cable vs DSL years ago. Everyone was dumping cable because of the price and the speed, but nobody mentioned that the node on my street was ancient and would drop every time it rained hard. I kept a cheap DSL backup line for years just to get through the worst of it, and honestly it was worth every penny for the peace of mind. These days I check the local outage maps and forum posts from people who live within a few blocks before I even think about switching.

Be yourself is solid, but maybe lead with the cute face next time.

Wait, did you watch the whole thing in English or with subs? Because I had the exact same thing happen with a show called Borgen, also Danish, and I told everyone it was just boring politics. Then my sister basically locked me in a room with her laptop and forced me to watch one episode. Four seasons later I was the one begging her to rewatch it with me. That slow burn thing is real, once you get past the first twenty minutes you're hooked and suddenly subtitles are no big deal. It's like my whole "I'm too restless for foreign shows" excuse was total garbage, I just needed the right story.
