Today we have a great quantity and variety of television series to watch endlessly. From the premieres that appear throughout the year to the most classic series, these are just some examples that modern culture has to offer us. Of course, many of them we couldn't get to see for some particular reason. Most, perhaps, is due to the enormous number of episodes they have across their seasons. The worst part is that generally these series are made up of the so-called “filler episodes”, those annoying episodes of lesser importance that don't continue the main plot, making us lose time and interest.

To solve this kind of problem, there is a Tumblr account called Skippable, which serves as a guide to TV series to avoid filler episodes. There you'll find a wide variety of series, from the most classic to the latest releases, and when you select one, you'll get a list of the total number of episodes along with the filler episodes you can skip accompanied by a brief review that justifies the reason. Do you want to start watching The X-Files but already feel overwhelmed knowing it has two hundred two episodes in total? Well, forty of those episodes can be skipped thanks to Skippable.

Even in short series like Sherlock, episodes can be skipped (in this case, two of the nine episodes that make up the three seasons), or the cult series Firefly, which consists of a single season of fourteen episodes where three of them are obsolete. There are also movies like Alfred Hitchcock's filmography, where it's indicated that twenty-six of them are not necessary to watch to follow this director's film career. So you know, if you want to start catching up on a series and save yourself several episodes that aren't worth it, nothing better than the guide to Skippable.
