The more middle aged I get, I can just rewatch series over and over. They’re new every time.

Cuts down on streaming bills.

If I stop playing a video game for even a couple weeks I forget everything in terms of the mechanics, crafting, and inventory etc and lose interest.

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

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season.... Well

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, that was sad. The first season was so good

Loved the first volume of a new fantasy series. Wait eagerly for Volume II. Nope out halfway through because it stinks.

Babylon 5 had the right idea. Do an animated version; you can keep all the original actors and have much wilder special effects

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

That doesn't work, because I rewatch it so often I remember everything.

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....

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

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!

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.

Attack on Titan. I lost interest at some point in the few year gap.

I'd say you just saw the best of it

Doesn't happen if you only watch obscure >decade old single season animes

Never mind the fact that I'll never find another person who watched and liked From the New World, or Canaan, or Flip Flappers

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Except this literally happened to old single season anime FLCL which started getting new seasons fifteen years later.

This guy does recaps and is actually good. Like, so good that he's worth watching on his own

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

worth it though.

also there are 10 min season-recaps on youtube, etc.

I should watch Garth Merenghis Dark Place again..

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

Futurama season 8 teaches us about the dangers of binging

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I like them as great excuses for a rewatch.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Worst part is having to watch everything all over again and then starting to remember what happens which spoils it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That‘s not bad. You could also get excited about a show getting 2 new seasons and then you realize they fucking suck.

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.

Still waiting for Mindhunter... Guess I'll wait forever

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Literally, cause it was canceled.
