The more middle aged I get, I can just rewatch series over and over. They’re new every time.
Cuts down on streaming bills.
The silver lining to having sht memory.
My least favorite is when you go back to watch season 1, enjoy it, then watch the new season and you can’t even finish it due to how different it is
Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season… Well
Yeah, that was sad. The first season was so good
Ehhh first half of the first season was good. It took a nosedive midway with the introduction of the sister.
Loved the first volume of a new fantasy series. Wait eagerly for Volume II. Nope out halfway through because it stinks.
This is presently happening with me for invincible. Season two just started and I have no idea what happened to get us where we are.
But Dr. Who is returning, so I’m rewatching the entire series. Just got to Matt Smith…
Invincible is so good that watching s1 again is a treat.
Dr who… you could watch literally no other eps and probably be about as caught up. It’s a fairly contained show, even when it references itself.
All 39 seasons? You are a madman!
Have to be a time traveler to find some of the Tom Baker stuff
Dr.Who is the One Piece of live action TV shows. The library is so vast that I don’t know where to start.
Thankfully you genuinely can just hop in at the beginning of any Doctor and be ok.
Well, the library is an entire planet, so yeah.
They’re bringing back Sliders!?
OMG that would be amazing
The first one or two seasons were awesome.
Attack on Titan. I lost interest at some point in the few year gap.
I’d say you just saw the best of it
This is what came to my mind as well. I feel like its been the final season for a decade.
It’s so silly. I couldn’t have created a more fucked up way to release the final season if I tried.
That’s usually good.
If it’s been literally years, you know the new writers and director are probably going to screw everything up relative to the original, and there will also probably be a change in cast.
I’d much prefer to forget the original than have a good memory of it and be disappointed with the changes.

I mean the original is like 6 episodes, right? Thanks for putting that song into my brain btw. “With the kids sing of the future. Maybe kids don’t need the masters.”
Changing the animation style so dramatically between seasons destroyed any continuity.
I want to watch season 2 of Dark but I don’t have it in me to rewatch and get my brain organized for season 1.
worth it though.
also there are 10 min season-recaps on youtube, etc.
I am gonna disagree here and say Dark only gets worse over time. To be honest, I have not even finished it, because it became super silly.
Then you missed how the end ties everything perfectly together and makes it one of the most consistent time travel stories ever filmed.
LOL. You must’ve been watching a different Dark than the one I did.
Time travel is a difficult trope to do well, because there is so much potential for paradoxes and other confusion. I always find myself going “So, if they could travel through time, couldn’t they just do X?”
In Dark, it started with a good premise, but the last season was a total wreck. It felt slapped together, like they had to come up with an ending in a hurry.
I believe the writers actually wrote much of the story line for the entire show before filming the first season. As such, it’s probably one the most internally consistent time travel stories. That said, I do think season 3 gets bogged down by all of the exposition needed for the story to actually make any sense.
Lmao, that is a fun mind bender.
I believe Netflix actually has a website with the timelines for each character so you don’t get confused. IIIRC you can tell it what episode you’re on so you won’t get any spoilers.
I should watch Garth Merenghis Dark Place again…
Don’t get my fucking hopes up! If only they would bring this back.
At least Matthew Holness had cameos in Toast of London and Toast of Tinseltown.
As I rounded the corner I felt muscular and compact, like corned beef.
Go Team Venture!
The cancellation of that show broke my heart.
This happened to my wife and I with season 4 or Ozark. Fortunately I found a well made video on YouTube that summarized Seasons 1-3. I was amazed at how much stuff we had forgotten.
I like them as great excuses for a rewatch.
Futurama season 8 teaches us about the dangers of binging
Lately I’ve just been rewatching the final episode of the previous season before starting a new one. I’m a little lost in that episode but by the end I’m following along, and it’s usually an exciting finale episode that gets me excited to watch the next episode.
I recently watched GenV, so many Boys references and world things that I’ve restarted The Boys.
