Funny enough I haven't actually heard a single spoiler for it. I only vaguely know about it, and it's been on my "maybe watch if I have nothing else one day" list for at least a few years. I haven't actively avoided it, but I haven't actively tried to seek it out either. I'll get to it one day, spoiled or not.

Good story in any case.

If and when, you'll probably realize that you've been watching spoilers for years and didn't get the connection.

References that people who have seen it know but people that haven't don't are references done right. They're not a spoiler at that point.

But yes I've had the same experience with many of the TV shows that are popular on places like here and reddit, the office, sunny, parks etc. You start seeing how many comments are just people referrencing stuff.
