Shows worth rewatching
Bojack Horseman is so much better a second time around. I mostly avoid doing this because there are so many new shows I haven't seen. Any others (and I mean watching in oder, not like watching random Office or Simpsons shows on sindication)?
Re: Shows worth rewatching
It’s impossible to catch all the jokes first time through on Arrested Development and 30 Rock so I’ll say those. Then there’s shows like The Sopranos where the writing and acting will hold up for as long as we’re alive.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
During the pandemic we rewatched Friends from College and we’re past what should have been the end of Scrubs. If that got a present day reboot pretty much every McGinley line would need a rewrite.
Re: Shows worth rewatching
I rewatched all of Sopranos recently and it is such a good show. Amazing writing and Gandolfini was brilliant.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
I plan on rewatching Deadwood and The Wire. It has been a good amount of time since I last watched them through. Then probably The Sopranos.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
We just got my BIL's Disney Plus and Hulu logins.
Won't be rewatching anything anytime soon.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
We rewatched Better Call Saul while deployed and I'd say that was worth it.
We also watched all of Game of Thrones because a few folks hadn't seen it. It was worth it to smash the dreams of young people and see their reactions in real time. To watch the show again? Not at all. Just don't.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
Ok, to answer the question, I was rewatching The Office because I was listening to the Office Ladies who do one episode a week. Then it all moved to Peacock, so I'm just listening to the podcast.
I watched about 3 seasons of Community kind of early in the pandemic, then about 3 seasons of Parks & Rec.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
I'm slowly going through Community and that's a great one on a second go round. I watched the first Mad Men and Thrones thinking it was awesome to see the characters, and knowing them right away and what's to come and to see that the writing was consistent from the start (esp. Mad Men), but I just couldn't commit to putting so much time into watching either series again. But I did rewatch Psych during the good old early pandemic days, and that was fun, but I still think Bojack and 30 Rock top the list for getting the most out of a second viewing (kind of like reading a classic book a second time)

Re: Shows worth rewatching
Echo Community is great on re-watch.
Re-watched Lost a few years ago w/ Q and that outstanding on re-watch, weirdly enough.
Breaking Bad holds up forever.
Arrested Development for sure. Cheers holds - but better around Season 3 when focus left Sam/Diane. Seinfeld holds.

It may be time for a Wire rewatch. It’s been a few years.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
I only saw it for the first time a couple years ago but looking forward to a re-watch. I just had to re-watch Bosch to catch my wife up on final season and it’s “eh” on re-watch. I really like it but not necessary to watch twice.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
We were just talking last night about re-watching Mad Men, but I'm not sure its streaming anywhere currently.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
Has the most recent season shown up on Netflix yet? I was under the impression it was going to start streaming back in the spring, but nothing so far....bfj wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 3:35 pmI'm planning a BCS rewatch before the new season starts (whenever that may be).Johnnie wrote: ↑Sun Aug 01, 2021 5:19 pm We rewatched Better Call Saul while deployed and I'd say that was worth it.

Father Ted perhaps the greatest sitcom of all time.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
Looks like there are only 4 of 5 seasons on Netflix which sucks because last season was great.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:47 amHas the most recent season shown up on Netflix yet?

Re: Shows worth rewatching
They usually don’t drop until a couple weeks before the new season airs which is unfortunate because of how long it’s been.bfj wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 3:01 pmLooks like there are only 4 of 5 seasons on Netflix which sucks because last season was great.DaveInSeattle wrote: ↑Tue Aug 03, 2021 9:47 amHas the most recent season shown up on Netflix yet?

You know what you need? A lyrical sucker punch to the face.
Re: Shows worth rewatching
I'm watching Bojack again. Holy shit is it still so good and still so depressing, maybe even moreso as I age and identify with Bojack (other than all the sex, fame, and money). Some of the episodes are just devestatingly sad. Amazing show.
Re: Shows worth rewatching
For my money one of the best shows of all-time. Up there with The Sopranos, The Wire et al.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
I only watched the odd episode of Bojack. If I wanted to pick it up, do I need to start from the very beginning? Or is there one particular season that would be the best time to pick it up?

Re: Shows worth rewatching
It’s probably worthwhile to watch from the beginning but if you really wanted you could skip season 1. I wouldn’t suggest skipping any other seasons or skipping around. There’s enough running gags that it’s best to watch in order.
ETA: And even with that if you skip season 1 you’re going to be really confused as to why it’s called “Hollywoo” and not Hollywood if you don’t watch S1E6.

Re: Shows worth rewatching
Just start with season 1 episode 1 and enjoy.
Re: Shows worth rewatching
This, 100%. Enjoy the journey beginning with the new world, countless sight gags, and so many inside jokes that continue through the entire series. And then watch the whole thing again, and again.
