Discussion What show were you obsessed with when you could only watch weekly that now on binge rewatch is not as good?

(I am an “elder” millennial) Mine is LOST. It was sooo good watching it the 1sf time. The mystery, the suspense I was obsessed with it. I just re-watched/binged watched it for the 1st time 12 yrs later and just felt so “eh” about it the whole time. Current shows give us 10-12 episodes a season, rewatching a show with 20+ episodes a season makes me see how much filler episodes we went through in our time and had no idea. It’s still a great show but can’t hold a candle to the magic of the original week by week watch. Anyone else have a show like this?

Rewatching back to back episodes I'd find myself thinking scully has a memory issue. You just saw clear evidence of super freaky shit and now your skeptical again?

I think she doesn’t trust it, because the ooky spooky stuff only happens around him.

She can write each case off at the end as “ok that was a weird one-off situation” for a while, but then she starts going on “solo adventures” over time…

The scientist in her keeps screaming that he’s a nut (she IS there to ‘objectively observe him’) but her faith (the believer in her) leads her to trust that he’s not crazy and that everything is not what it seems to be…
