A friend in Chicago said they only watch shows with a 'rewatch factor' now

We were talking about new series, and she mentioned she's stopped starting anything unless she thinks she'd enjoy seeing it again. It made me realize I've been chasing the new thing without thinking about lasting appeal. What's the last show you finished and immediately wanted to start over?

Severance had me hitting restart before the credits even rolled.

68 episodes in The Office for me. I finished my 14th full rewatch last month and the second the finale ended I just scrolled right back to episode 1. @sandraf84 hit on something real about the shift from collecting to actually enjoying things. That makes me think about how much time we waste chasing the next big show when we could be digging deeper into the ones that actually matter to us. My friend in Chicago would probably say that's the whole point, like why start something new if it's just gonna be background noise anyway.

Your friend is onto something. It's like we're all tired of empty calories in our watch history. @jake_kelly24 gets it with Severance, that show is built for a second look. I see it with music too, people just replaying their favorite albums instead of hunting for new singles. Feels like a shift from collecting experiences to actually enjoying them.
