I was just curious what the meta is among other tv lovers. What’s ur guys philosophy for this. Rewatching previous seasons is time consuming and can feel like a chore, but going in without a refresher or just a recap can take away from the experience too. Do you guys watch recaps, or rewatch the whole show over? Do you just go in raw regardless of how much you remember?
Theres a lot of factors that probably make it a case by case thing. Like release times between seasons are so inconsistent across the board, some times it takes 1 year, others take 2-3 or more.
There also how many seasons are out. It might be easy to rewatch the first season if s2 is next, but if a show has multiple it’ll be a lot harder to keep rewatching every time there’s a new season out.
I’m very interested in what the people have to say cuz I always feel like I make the wrong choice :/
