To watch the same thing over and over because it brings comfort

[Eggsandspam]

I’ve recently discovered a TV series I love and it feels very comforting to me to watch it.
Each time I finish all the episodes I start them again. I’m on the 4th time in a row of watching them now.

My DP thinks I’m crazy and keeps asking why I’m not bored of it yet.

Am I mad or does anyone else do this?

I just realised I do it with food too

I've watched every season of game of thrones 3 times. TWD all seasons, twice through. Endgame about 20!

I'm on a sort of constant rewatch of greys anatomy. There are so many seasons that it's like painting the forth bridge - once I get to the end I'm ready to start again.

I don't watch it every night or anything, so watching the whole lots takes me ages (~w2 years maybe). But it's conforting to just dip into.

I do this with Santa Clarita Diet and What We Do in the Shadows, and I totally see how Ghosts would work too. Solidarity!

I love Ghosts and totally get re-watching something because of the comforting feel it gives you. I do this with comedies such as Blackadder and dinnerladies on Gold and I enjoy a yearly re-watch of the BBC adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. As a teenager I used to watch Dirty Dancing on a weekly basis!

Ghosts and Dectorists constantly in our house!

I could do the with The Royle Family.
I'm on a fb group for it and some people do watch the episodes.on repeat.

IT crowd is mine, couldn't tell you how many times I watched it and it still makes me laugh.

Detectorists for me!

Yep! Harry Potter all of them !

I do this with Downton Abbey, Friends and Sex and the City.

I've just rewatched the original All Creatures Great and Small, all 79 episodes. I also reread favourite books if I'm feeling a bit fragile.
Rewatching things for comfort is talked about a lot in ADHD and Autism groups, don't think it's exclusive to ND people though.

I have a whole load of comfort films & TV series, I have comfort video games, radio series & books as well.

Ghosts is great, only a recent discovery for me, but it's a hot contender for addition to my lists!

Normal and very common! Applies to lots of things not just tv ☺️

I do this

With Benidorm (hence my name 😂), The office both uk and US, extras, Derek, afterlife, this country, peep show, the list goes on

I do this with Peep Show

Oh and Detectorists is a good one too 😍😍

This came up when I was in counselling as I am the same. Apparently it’s a recognised thing and quite common.

I do it with Twilight, it's rubbish and teeny but if Ive had a rubbish day it's a good watch.

As a child I wore out the VHS of Mary Poppins and Robin Hood

I rewatch things I like but not over and over again!

I re-watch The Detectorists regularly! Very comforting

My favourite episode is Moonah!

Motherland is my go to as it always makes me laugh.

I love Ghosts, and Detectorists, and This Country. At the moment it's This Country I'm re-watching.
I have another show I have constantly on series watch. I've been re-watching it for at least 12 years. I feel that, as I can happily snooze through it if it relaxes me enough, it doesn't count as having seen every episode eleventy billion times.

Oh yes! Twilight was another back to back watch for me. Repeatedly.
