I thought of the sentence without "managed" to begin with, but decided that it adds the sense of "побороть в себе"

: I like "must-see" more, but then again, "obligatory viewing" sounds sort of ironical, which, considering the context, is probably better.

Thanks, Mariya. I think I prefer "obligatory viewing" because it's a good phrase but there aren't that many opportunities to use it.
