I feel like I learn or observe something new every time I see them. I get more information and see more character development. Also someone like me who doesn&#8217;t remember character names until like five episodes in; it helps. I can also see how their character develops throughout a series since I know what happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyway, I like to rewatch shows even if I&#8217;ve seen them a bunch. Just thought I would create a list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Breaking Bad<\/strong> &#8211; Always a classic. I like to rewatch this for the great characters and the great story. I always notice some hidden detail that I missed before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Better Caul Saul<\/strong> &#8211; It&#8217;s in the same universe as Breaking Bad and it&#8217;s a prequel (even though it was filmed after Breaking Bad). I can always catch something new watching this. I love how we see the same characters from Breaking Bad appear in this show. I wish we could see the &#8220;Gene Scenes&#8221; without them being black and white. And the only way to watch BCS is by watching all of BB mid season 6.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Frasier<\/strong> &#8211; I&#8217;ve loved this show since I was a kid. Even though it was a sitcom and you can pretty much watch any episode without knowing anything, it&#8217;s still great. I love the Daphne and Niles relationship and watching what happens to everyone. I wasn&#8217;t a Cheers fan but I loved Frasier. Frasier also had a great ending (even if it does have more reboot seasons; the original is the best).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lost<\/strong> &#8211; One of those really good shows where so many things tie together. They reference stuff in season 4 that was originally in season 1&#8230; everything just went together. Though there were a few loose ends, I thought the final season was pretty good; although sad. I also love the characters and their development and backstory. I recently watched Lost in chronological order and it was amazing. I picked up on so many little things I missed while watching it originally.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Dexter<\/strong> &#8211; If there was one show I could rewatch like it was a virgin to me, it would be Dexter. So many twists and turns throughout the season&#8230; sooo good. Even if the last four seasons really sucked, the first four were amazing. I did think the books were better. (Isn&#8217;t that always the case?)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shameless<\/strong> &#8211; You just love some of the characters and their relentlessness to just &#8220;make it.&#8221; They really do whatever they can to survive. Even though some of the characters just get in their own way (i.e. Lip), it&#8217;s still just great to root for them. I also really enjoyed the final season which had Covid in it. I loved that. So many shows pretended like there wasn&#8217;t a pandemic going on. Shameless wrote it in. I also really loved the ending. Very satisfying ending.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Travelers<\/strong> &#8211; Even though this show only had three seasons, it&#8217;s one of my favorites. It&#8217;s sci-fi and mystery and drama&#8230; it has a little of everything. Very well written and the stories are amazing. Highly recommend this show&#8230; Just wish it had more. The ending sucked but it was understandable.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Newsroom<\/strong> &#8211; Man do I really wish this show lasted more than three seasons! As Americans, we needed this show to continue. Like I would have religiously watched News Night every night. That is how news SHOULD be. And I loved seeing the dynamics around the news room. Having had crushes on some of my coworkers before, I totally dug the relationships and the hesitation and waiting. But loved this show for the politics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These shows I don&#8217;t watch nearly as often as the others but they&#8217;re still good to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Scrubs<\/strong> &#8211; What a great and funny show. I loved how the relationships change so much over the years of the show. It also gave me a perspective on my life and how much I&#8217;ve grown up. The series started a few years before I went to college so I always had it as it was a kinda learning show.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fringe<\/strong> &#8211; I loved how the first few episodes of this series tied into one another. I think they didn&#8217;t think it was going to be a success so they didn&#8217;t think ahead more than six episodes but it still is a great show. I love the sci-fi and solving the mysteries. I don&#8217;t like the unrealistic aspect of how fast they really think they can get from Massachusetts to New York City in like a half hour. Unrealistic. (And yea I know that kind of thing bothers me and not the physics of amber fossilization.)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>True Blood<\/strong> &#8211; I would probably watch this more than the other ones in this sub list because the characters are so good in it. And deep down it is a good story. Lots of sex!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Big Love<\/strong> &#8211; Don&#8217;t know why I was so fascinated with this series at one point but it&#8217;s worth a few watches&#8230; maybe because like any HBO show it has so much sex in it. But there are details you miss unless you watch it at least twice; and it needs to be binge watched.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Some honorable mentions but shows I would probably never watch again: <strong>Oz<\/strong>, <strong>The Umbrella Academy<\/strong>, <strong>Stranger Things<\/strong>, <strong>House<\/strong>, <strong>The Boyz<\/strong>, <strong>Bosch<\/strong>, <strong>The Lincoln Lawyer<\/strong>, <strong>Law &amp; Order: SVU<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will probably update this post with more shows that are at least worth a watch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m weird and I like to rewatch shows.
