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.

Attack on Titan. I lost interest at some point in the few year gap.
I'd say you just saw the best of it

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 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.
Lmao, that is a fun mind bender.
Go Team Venture!
The cancellation of that show broke my heart.
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.

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
I recently watched GenV, so many Boys references and world things that I've restarted The Boys.
That‘s not bad. You could also get excited about a show getting 2 new seasons and then you realize they fucking suck.
Anyone else remember Dexter's Lab getting a new season that was basically just a prototype for the even worse Johnny Test?
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.
Severance
Still trying to catch back up on Adventure Time
Still waiting for Mindhunter... Guess I'll wait forever
don't worry I forgot the first season a mere 3 hours after watching it.
Attack on Titan and Sweet Home.
And that's why I regularly rewatch Donkey Kong Country
Mother fucker, Teletoon going to drop season 3 any day now
Lol, Uploead season 3!
That's the fun of it, you rewatch season 1 and used that knowledge to criticise how bad season 2 become.
Bonus point is you rewatch the original series and use that knowledge to criticise how bad the sequel is. Hello Legend of Korra.
Korra had so much promise, but you should absolutely be blaming Nickelodeon for constant interference. Nickelodeon alone ruined the potential of that show.
