I do not think ONCE is the type of show you can pick up again after having missed episode there is too much of a continuing arch. I have been watching since Christmas time the year the episode started … I watched the marathon they had back then and that got me hooked. Another good thing that happened was they released a DVD of the first half of the season which allowed people who missed watching the first part of the season to catch up and also introduce the show to others.
But when you miss to many episodes of ONCE there is no way to catch up to the current story as broadcasted. Too many of my friends either stream it as a group or by DVD. They no longer watch live. …. this type of action will be the death of TV.
