Best go at converting for me is to tell them a bit about the premise, and then watch Gambit and City on the Edge of the World. If it's someone who likes artful writing, add Sand; if it's someone who likes angst, add Orbit. There are a few others I think are good bait. But definitely do NOT slog the newbie through the first several episodes until the person is already somewhat hooked. If possible, skip The Web until much, much later.
