My friend published a multi-part video on Facebook. I wanted to comment "I
survived for only one episode", as in "It was so bad I couldn't keep watching
after just one episode", but I wasn't sure which word would fit for
"survived". (I'm also not really sure this is a metaphorical usage.)

I thought about:

> 1話だけ残った
>
> 1話だけ生き残った

But, I think both sound really, really ridiculous.

words translation
How do I express "to survive" in a more metaphorical sense?
Yes, both are bad.

"1話だけ残った" would be "it's down to the [last] one episode", and thus it's
actually the opposite of what you want to convey.

"1話だけ生き残った" would mean "all but one episode were lost", and again it doesn't
make sense (but given the context, it'll probably be understood.)

If I were you, I'd go with 一話で力尽きた
