1.11 was IMO important to prepare the ground for 2.22 - some subtle differences exist and by not following exact the original story it makes 2.22 stand out more

1.11 was IMO important to prepare the ground for 2.22 - some subtle differences exist and by not following exact the original story it makes 2.22 stand out more. But by itself it's not that great - probably helps a lot that I watched 1.11 and 2.22 pretty much back to back.
