Rewatching series more than once

I’m about to start Black Sails rewatch #3 when it releases on Netflix this month.

For some shows, a rewatch is necessary. Dark is the best example. The only series I ever thought was worse on a rewatch was True Blood.

We should do a rewatch thread. That was a fantastic show.





I've seen The Office like 37 times through now.

Many of these get better the second time around. Do you find you like a series the second time around?

If I like a series and think it’s really good, I absolutely do a rewatch, usually multiple rewatches over time. And yes, I generally like a good show even better on subsequent views. It’s easier to pick out more details and underlying themes and foreshadowing.

I generally have a rewatch or two ongoing, usually a drama and a comedy, along with a new show or two in rotation. It works well for me because if I’m fully engaged I can binge whatever interests me at that time or if I’m perhaps tired or disengaged I can put on my comedy rewatch and still enjoy. Helps me break any monotony.

I sure hope you stopped after season 5. yikes

I did a rewatch a year or so ago

I swore it off but told myself to stop after season 5 and I did. It was fricking awesome. I would rewatch it every year before the final season happened

Highly recommend

kinda depends. Something like Arrested Development definitely yes because there's SO much missed on an initial viewing. Something like black mirror I think is definitely more enjoyable on your first trip.

Sopranos - doesn't hold up as well as it did 5+ years ago

Well, I completely disagree. That's the beauty of The Sopranos. You watch it primarily because of the characters. I've never watched any show that is so (for me) character driven.

The content is a driver also, but it's the characters and the writing that separates The Sopranos from anything ever put out there.
