The X-Files grasped me with episode1 season 1! And, I am still a big fan of this show from the early 1990's!!!

I struggle to think of a more boring opening scene, and then general first episode, that Sharp Object, somehow in this list according to… someone's opinion (?).
i would probably have included From, and The Boys.
