No, watching one episode, the first one especially, is NOT enough to judge an entire series. You cannot watch the first episodes of The Wire, Breaking Bad, The Sopranos, American Gods, Hannibal, or Westworld and make final judgement then and there. To properly judge the series as a whole you do need to watch them in their entirety as they intend to tell season long to series long story arcs.

1 episode is more than enough. That's how network executives decide whether or not to pick up a TV show. By watching the pilot episode only, not an entire season. In 2011, there was a pilot episode for a new Wonder Woman TV series starring Adrienne Palicki as Wonder Woman. The pilot episode was never aired on TV (because the network executives decided after watching the pilot episode not to pick up the series), but I've seen the pilot episode and it was awful and I can see why network executives passed on it.

Same with the pilot episode of Jessica Jones. It was really boring and crappy. And that's enough to judge Jessica Jones as being the worst superhero show ever made.

Most scholars of the medium of TV and professional critics of the medium would agree that you cannot judge a whole show by just its first episode

That's exactly how network executives judge a TV show when they're deciding whether or not to pick up the show. They watch the pilot episode only. They don't watch the entire season.

And that's also exactly how Emmy voters judge a TV show when they're voting for the best TV shows. They watch 1 episode only of each nominated show. They don't watch the entire season.

Rights to adapt Fleming's novel were complicated and thus allowed another studio to produce a version of their own with Connery back in the role. The Joker stand-alone movie and the rest of the DCEU is produced all by Warner Bros. so its a pointless and confusing business venture.

And that was of no concern to most general movie audiences. For most general audiences, it was simply just 2 James Bond movies in the same year starring 2 different actors as James Bond. Same with the Marvel movies. Fox or MCU-produced is of no concern to most general audiences. For most general audiences, they simply just see the "Marvel" logo at the beginning of the movies and associate the movie with Marvel comics.
