5 TV Shows That Only Get Better With Each Rewatch
You don’t have to worry about running out of content.
With the fall finally settling in, it’s finally the time to sit down on the couch with a cup of a Pumpkin Spice beverage of choice and enjoy some great TV. Although you are less likely to see new seasons of your favorite shows this September, as lots of productions went on pause due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, there are still some classics worth your time.
Here are 5 TV shows that you are guaranteed to like just as much upon every single new rewatch:
Deadwood
The show is so intense and packed with events, that it’s too easy to miss something watching it once. Besides, the rewatch may help those of you who didn’t find it particularly interesting the first time. Sometimes all the show needs to show its true colors is a proper second chance.
Unlike its predecessor, it’s short enough to not get bored while rewatching it, but also long enough to get you really into the story and the universe. With each rewatch you will be getting more nuanced metaphors and may even change your opinion of major characters, as you will be able to appreciate them in more detail.
Arrested Development
Sitcoms are usually the easiest to rewatch either way because the episodes are not too connected and you can mix up the order. Arrested Development is no different. There are just too many jokes to catch and grasp the first time around, so the show is just as entertaining on a second viewing.
If you were a fan of Succession, you might also enjoy the original HBO family business run by Tony Soprano. Even if you saw a few episodes as a kid, or just used to watch the series a long time ago, you’d be surprised at how captivating it is to this day. Besides, in 2023 you will certainly find even more appreciation for the early 2000s humor.
Hannibal is perfect for re-watching, not only because you get to appreciate the show's brilliant cinematography and the talents of stars Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy, but also because you get to take a deeper look at the relationship between the characters. Everyone reads it differently, and you have the chance to come up with your own interpretation.
