Which old TV shows would you like to watch but they just have too many episodes?

[WonderingAndOverthinking]

I am not one for rewatching shows but I recently did start Stranger Things from the beginning again in preparation for Season 5 (and because I couldn’t remember a damn thing from my first watch!), and to be honest, I really enjoyed refreshing my memory. I started to think of some other TV shows that I missed the first time round but the amount of episodes are putting me off starting any! My list so far is:

The Sopranos
Mad Men
Boardwalk Empire
Game of Thrones
Sex and the City
Game of Thrones (maybe… 🤔)
Lost (I watched all but the last series of this so would need to start again to refresh my memory!)

I loved ER and it's just come to Netflix. I want to watch but just don't know if I can commit all those viewing hours!

I know what you mean by too many episodes. I'd love to rewatch peaky blinders, game of thrones, line of duty and breaking bad but for some reason feel put off by the length, though only GOT is probably the only really lengthy one in that list.

I'm going to rewatch Hacks and the L Word anyway, as I love both shows, lengthy or not!

If anyone is interested in watching something truly gripping and so watchable, who isn't? What I am about to recommend is just an absolute gift! Under rated I over looked it for years, now I've watched every episode and am so sad I'm finished.I am looking forward to when I have forgotten some of what happens so I can re watch. This is hands down one of the best series ever made, for the acting, the story lines, the settings, characters and music. It's.......BOSCH! ❤️👏✨️

Northern Exposure and West Wing.

The Private Practice (grays anatomy spinoff),
Lucifer,
Everwood
The Good Witch
ER,
Supernatural
Gilmore Girls
Bones
Buffy
The Vampire Diaries
Angel
Castle,
Body of Proof

I'm really tempted to do this i loved it first time round

Greys anatomy is definitely worth a watch. I was late to the game with it but SIL recommended it and I watched the whole lot in about 5 months.

Orange is the new black is also amazing.

This thread has inspired me to start on ER I think!

DD recently binge watched every single season over a period of weeks. She must have watched it at every opportunity. I don't think I'd have the patience!

That isn’t long , it was 3 seasons and Yes Prime minister is crap .

Me and DS started Greys Anatomy in the summer holidays, we’re now on Season 11 😳

Currently watching House and Waterloo Road. Still in the early series but glad I decided to.

I'd love to watch all of Murder She Wrote but there are far too many episodes and I get to sections where I've seen all of them.

Bad Girls- I loved it so much as a teenager and would love to see it again as an adult but there’s just so much of it!

@TakingTheHorseToFrance please can you tell me where you are watching nurse Jackie

Waking the Dead, loved the interaction between Trevor Eve and Sue Johnston

Silent Witness was great until about series 16, haven’t watched it for ages

West Wing
Firefly
Battlestar Galactica

House.
Life on Mars.
Ashes to Ashes.
All brilliant.

Spooks is good and hasn’t aged

ive rewatched xfiles, er and the wire and I really enjoyed them and noticed a lot more 2nd time watching

Oh yes - ‘Lost’ definitely suffers from the fact the writers not knowing how to finish it (why actually finish it at all?)

Spoiler alert - at the end of Series 4, the writers apparently said ‘The island is NOT purgatory’, and at the end of Series 6, er…..

it gave all the impression of a rush job to wrap things up.

Star Trek. I love it but I only ever got to watch random episodes years ago, except for DS9 which I later watched from the beginning.

I think watching all of classic Star Trek from the original series pilot to the end of Enterprise would take about 2 years if you watched an episode a day!

I'm rewatching Westworld, hopefully this time I might actually understand the later seasons 😄

Prime Suspect. It would take me years to watch them all.
Saying that, I am working my way (again) through Star Trek: TNG.

@Isntiticonic agreed, have you read the book series, they are fantastic, though I didn’t picture Harry as Titus he did a great job

@Warmhandscoldheart I don’t think I’m intelligent enough to understand Westworld but it has some great actors in

Nurse Jackie is on paramount

The X-Files but stopping at the first film, or possibly the end of season 7.

ER
