I keep seeing posts here and in other TV subreddits about series that people watch over and over or “comfort series” and I wonder if there’s just something wrong with me. I’m 53, I love TV and I’ve watched a lot of series, but I have never done a second watch through of any series that I’ve already watched fully once. I did do a rewatch of MASH, but I had only really ever seen that in syndication and all out of order, so I don’t think that counts. Typically when choosing what to watch I’d rather start something new than go back to something I’ve seen. I’ve started rewatches of different series multiple times, but I typically fade out somewhere between season 3 and season 5 of whatever I’m watching.
Are there other people out there like this or am I alone on an island here?
