To think there is nothing better than rewatching a favourite series after a few years break?

Just rewatched all of Buffy for the first time in absolute years. Enjoyed it even more this time perhaps as I already knew how good it was going to be. Thinking maybe going back to the West Wing next.

Different league!

I'm currently rewatching Line of Duty from the beginning with Dh who is watching it for the first time, before watching the new series.

I've also got all of Buffy recorded and I'm up to series 5 now

Loved loved loved ER the first time round, storm drain Clooney is definitely a TV highlight. I didn't know they were on prime, I'll start on them next Smile

I'm rewatching the good wife at the moment, it's brilliant. will probably rewatch the first two seasons of the good fight afterwards. i also rewatched the whole of breaking bad and mad men when i was off work after knee surgery.

the good wife is particularly rewarding as it's good but very forgettable so in fact i have forgotten most of it.

LadyRannaldini · 04/04/2019 12:03

The West Wing, I never tire of watching this, it's like a course in US Government 101!

ButtMuncher · 04/04/2019 12:09

I rewatch The Thick of It every Christmas. No idea why. Apart from that I'll happily rewatch episodes of RuPauls Drag Race and crime documentaries. Fancy rewatching altered Carbon again for a Joel Kinnaman fix Grin

I need to watch GOT for this very reason

FrenchyQ · 04/04/2019 12:20

I've just finished rewatching Lost (think for the third time).
Gossip girl I rewatch once a year.just for Chuck Bass fashion!.

Arrested development and its always sunny in philadelphia are on my regular rewatch list

misskatamari · 04/04/2019 12:22

I just rewatched all Buffy and Angel, so so good! And omg Spike! 😍😍😍

purpleme12 · 04/04/2019 12:26

Have you got the DVDs or have you found another way of watching Buffy?

MiraculousMarinette · 04/04/2019 12:29

Doing that with Lie To Me at the moment. Very good!

Ijumpedtheshark · 04/04/2019 12:32

I’m rewatching the West Wing for about the 6th time. Love it!

cocodash · 04/04/2019 12:37

Over the years ive watched greys 3 times through in total, watched scandal twice and currently watching how to get away with murder again.

Obviously a shonda rhines junkie. No shame.

DeadWife · 04/04/2019 12:38

The Wire and only because of Omar.

I'd read the GoT books twice before the series was filmed so no need to rewatch.

JustHereWithMyPopcorn · 04/04/2019 12:39

True Blood is another great one to rewatch. I've also rewatched last seasons GOT ready for the finale.

SileneOliveira · 04/04/2019 12:41

I don't get this rewatching thing at all. I watch something once, if it;s good I'll try to find something similar to watch, or something with the same actors.

DH can watch episodes of the Big Bang theory multiple times. So incredibly dull.

BlackCatSleeping · 04/04/2019 12:43

I just finished re-watching all of Game of Thrones. It's so good. I actually preferred it this time because the first time there was so much I missed and it was nice to have continuity between the series and see how they all came together.

I watched all of The Wire last year.

I love re-watching old series.

Buffy is on Amazon prime video at the moment @purpleme12

I did True Blood last year as well.

There are some series I never got to the end of, so I like to go back and rewatch them all from the start.

I really want to do ER but there are a lot of seasons.

hammeringinmyhead · 04/04/2019 12:47

Yes. I've watched all of Buffy three times, The OC and Gossip Girl twice, The X Files three times (third on blu-ray), and will do The West Wing again sometime.

DerelictWreck · 04/04/2019 12:47

I rewatch GReys and Gilmore Girls fairly regularly.

Problem with rewatching Greys is it makes you realize how phenomenally awesome it used to be. Still enjoy the new stuff, but it doesn't really compare to pre-plane crash Greys.

HoozThatGirl · 04/04/2019 12:51

I've only recently discovered the pleasure of the rewatch. I always thought it would be like rereading a book and a disappointment.
I'm on the third watch of Doc Martin, have a few Lewis's recorded and plan to watch all the old Durrell's before the new series.
Where is Lost on? DS got half way through before it dropped off Sky box sets.
Never seen ER is it as good as House?

Andromeida59 · 04/04/2019 12:57

Currently watching the X Files. One thing I want to watch again is Studio Sixty on the Sunset Strip. Absolutely incredible. It's worth giving it a go. Also want to watch Killing Eve. Just rewatched Friends again.

Cheesymonster · 04/04/2019 13:02

I'm rewatching Lost too.

Where can I watch The West Wing please?

ChatterlyWhatterly · 04/04/2019 13:11

We recently rewatched Californication. Really enjoyed it.

BlessThisMess · 04/04/2019 13:12

@DaisyBD I'm currently almost at the end of The Good Wife for the first time - loving it and am thinking about starting again from the beginning straightaway! It may be better to have a bit of a break though.
