@siracusa so glad you liked the recommendation! I really think a full watch is an amazing time. It took me about a year or so to get caught up, but that was with way fewer episodes.

I got into it with the algorithm suggesting me contemporary eps and not thinking I'd like it, but eventually trying one (it was where they were putting on the gunwale) and then decided to start from the beginning.

And yes, what Pete reveals about six months in I never even suspected!
