Anyone else every watched and/or gotten into the sequel of something without ever seeing the first thing?

Inspired by my current desire to watch The Paper due to Domhnall Gleason, in spite of having never watched a single Office episode.

I started watching Due South in the third season, which came after a hiatus, and I consider, due to changing up one of the main actors, to be a kind of sequel to the first two seasons of the show. I've not seen the first two, other than the pilot episode, because they didn't really catch me. But the rest of the show was great.

I watched The Mummy Returns before I watched The Mummy, loved it and watched the first to see where it all started and loved that even more.

Watched The Jeffersons without having watched All in the Family, though I was young enough that I didn't realize it was a spinoff for a long time.

Watched NCIS without having watched JAG.

Watched The Flash (2014) and Legends of Tomorrow without having watched Arrow.

lol TIL that NCIS was a Jag sequel. In my defense I've only watched a handful of episodes!

To be fair, the crossover aspect only happened in the episode that introduced NCIS. And they are very, very different shows. Personally I loved JAG (my mom's favorite show when I was a kid, so we watched it a lot) but couldn't get into NCIS due to the characters.

da - but I love when a show does the first episode 'crossover' send off for a spin off show.

I didn’t realize that The Paper was related to The office at all.

It is a spin off where the schtick is the same, an office filmed by the same documentary crew. But totally different characters and office. And looks funnier?

I do with video games often. Sometimes it inspires me to go back and play the originals leading up to whatever game draws me in, and sometimes I'm happy to either live in ignorance or just happy to read all the lore.

Is The Paper a sequel? For some reason I thought it was a same universe spin-off.

You are right, same universe spin-off. So I probably don't have to have seen the Office enjoy it.

I got obsessed with Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, and that was my introduction to the series.

And I started reading The Outsider not knowing it came after the Bill Hodges trilogy.

Video games count? When I first got my PS3, I did it for Bioshock 2 after falling in love with one of the trailers for it, just played 1 some time later.

I also played Transformers Fall of Cybertron before the first game War for Cybertron, and it was what got me into Transformers.

My college anime club wanted to watch Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and swore to us who hadn't played FFVII that we didn't need to know anything about it to understand the movie. They either lied big time or were so blinded by their own knowledge of the original that they couldn't tell they were wrong.

They TOTALLY lied. That movie def needs some baseline knowledge as to who and what is going on.

My old group of friends insisted they didn't need to play the og to understand Advent Children. As an og player I was annoyed, naturally, even loaned them my original copy of the game. Apparently it was "too hard to understand".

Lol yeah, that one does NOT work without any prior knowledge. But to be fair, it barely works WITH prior knowledge.

I played Witcher 3 without playing the first two.

I went to the theatres to see Dune 2 without having watched the first one (still haven't).

As a child I saw The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi before watching A New Hope.
I watched Revenge of the Sith without having watched The Phantom Menace or Attack of the Clones.

My first exposure to Harry Potter was seeing Chamber of Secrets at the theatres.

I watched Jojo's Bizarre Adeventure in the middle of Diamond is Unbreakable (though I did watch from the beginning before completing DiU).

I got into Buffy the Vampire Slayer during the third season.
