The story is what attracts me the most, I think. If I don’t like what the show is about I would never start watching it 
Acting and actors are also important to me but the whole story is what matters the most!
@ ScreenSloths, what initially attracts you to a show?
Dunno, it could be anything really. It just depends.
The trailer or the acting names and then the trailer.
the storyline.
Same 
Pilot episode 
Trailers-
and the story and how it is performed and/or carried on.
what the story is about and probably if i’m interested in the genre. i like having LI’s too, but its not needed, but it does help A LOT!!
And usually having a liked LI makes people post about it and that’s how people find out about the show/book sometimes.
for example - levi from aot
Usually the title/description of the show as well as if I know any of the actors from other shows/movies I’ve liked
Usually, the trailer and the description. I don’t pay much attention to who is acting in it, unless it’s an actor I know from another show and really liked. But even if I do like the actor, but the show is a genre I won’t watch or the trailer doesn’t interest me, I probably won’t watch it.
