Netflix knows a lot about us—how late we’re willing to stay up to finish a movie, and how many hours we’re capable of sitting motionlessly entranced by a TV show, for instance. But now the company has crunched the numbers to figure out the exact episode of our favorite shows that hooked us: Netflix analyzed data for 25 shows, and found the episode within each series after which 70 percent of people continued watching for the rest of its first season. Some hook episodes come far later than others; Breaking Bad and Scandal had us at episode two, while other shows, like Mad Men and How I Met Your Mother, needed a little more time to sink their claws in.
So, according to Netflix, here are the grabbiest episodes in recent TV history:
