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.

It's got to be Desperate Housewives for me, along with Scott & Bailey, Last Tango in Halifax and Happy Valley Grin

BlackPrism · 04/04/2019 18:22

Rereading an old book is even better 😍

dustyparadeground · 04/04/2019 18:26

Must have seen The Sopranos 3 or 4 times. And Breaking Bad. And Mad Men

Oooo is Angel running somewhere I have not seen? I have been watching Buffy in Prime

AlphaSigma · 04/04/2019 18:42

Hell yes, I've watched Breaking Bad three times!

Justme10 · 04/04/2019 18:51

@QueenofallIsee angel is on prime as well Smile

BuildAParsnip · 04/04/2019 18:54

Cold feet, Gavin and Stacey and Sex in the City. I love the comfort of a rewatch.

UniversalAunt · 04/04/2019 18:59

Belting through Line of Duty on BBC iPlayer before they expire. Starting series 3 tonight, plan series 4 for the weekend & straight into the two first episodes of series 5 next week.
Vexed box set about to complete this week.

Buffy - may go there again.
ER - distinctly possible.

Are you being served? Dad’s Army & The High Life are revisited every year. Maybe The Good Life every few years - Tom & Barbara grate but Jerry & Margot are lifestyle icons in this neck of the woods.

Plebs..I forgot Plebs.

bitingcat · 04/04/2019 19:07

Any Buffy and Angel fans seen Dollhouse? Also by Jos Wheadon and staring Eliza Dushku.

Ragnarthe · 04/04/2019 19:20

The High life?
Omg I loved that.....
Always a pleash!

Tawdrylocalbrouhaha · 04/04/2019 19:27

Dinner Ladies and Father Ted are my rewatch favourites.

AftonGlen · 04/04/2019 20:06

After catching up and finishing Better Call Saul on Netflix I was needing another fix of Jimmy McGill and started rewatching Breaking Bad. The writing and comedy timing are spot on, I don't think it will ever get old for me Grin

UtterlyUnimaginativeUsername · 04/04/2019 20:15

Farscape. Fantastic. And it's been a few years so we're probably due a rewatch soon : )

sardinesontoast · 04/04/2019 20:17

Recently rewatched Brothers & Sisters. Loved it more than the first time

haverhill · 04/04/2019 20:19

The High Life! Piff paff puff!

haverhill · 04/04/2019 20:19

poff!

PottyPotterer · 04/04/2019 20:24

I keep looking on sky & Netflix for desperate housewives to rewatch! I used to love that!

I rewatched that a few months back on now tv, great escape tv with no need for concentration.

haverhill where can I watch northern exposure? Loved that series.

BigFatGoalie · 04/04/2019 20:30

lemon we need to educate these Mumsnet gets on the heaven that is Wentworth Miller...
He’s ever so dreamy! 😍😂

hammeringinmyhead · 04/04/2019 20:32

I saw Dollhouse but it creeped me out too much for a rewatch.

Also loved Studio 60!

jo10000 · 04/04/2019 20:39

OH and I rewatch Alias every two to three years, the twists are just as great even when you know they're coming. Just rewatching Friends, for the first time all together since it first appeared. It's still really funny. Love the Good Wife but so disappointed with Will storyline near end feel I don't want to see again, probably will though...

M0reGinPlease · 04/04/2019 21:02

This is exactly what I spent my maternity leave doing. Time well spent IMO.

LellyMcKelly · 04/04/2019 21:08

I’ve watched every episode of Father Ted so often I can recite them. Will still watch an episode if I stumble across it. I’m jealous (lighthearted) of people who’ve never seen it, because they’ll be able to enjoy it for the first time, and have recently introduced my kids to it. The Song for Europe episode is still one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen.

bsc · 05/04/2019 00:55

I like Flight of the Conchords, even though I know them all off by heart. And Doctor Who.
