Shows Worth Rewatching on Netflix

You know that feeling when you start a new show on Netflix and all you want to do is binge watch the show all day until you finish it? But when you try to start another show, it doesn’t provide you with the same thrill or investment as a previous one you already finished. So you decide to rewatch the show, just to feel those episode thrills again. When rewatching a show, you can sometimes pick up on small things that you didn’t catch before. Maybe a foreshadow on an event that happens down the road that you just realized after rewatching it. Here are some shows that people have said are worth rewatching on Netflix.

Note: The list of shows are not in any order.

1. Lost

Survivors of a plane crash end up on a mysterious island. Each person who survived has a secret that will be revealed as the show progresses. The island itself is strange, and only more strange things eventually happen to the survivors.

Jared Colow, SUNY Plattsburgh sophomore, said that rewatching Lost made him aware of new things.

“The show was complex enough that you could watch it over and still see new things that you never noticed,” Colow said.

Note Lost is no longer on Netflix but is on Hulu.

Elizabeth Sacks, SUNY Plattsburgh junior, said the show provided her with so much excitement.

“I rewatched this show again and it still had me on the edge of my seat, Sacks said. “I really recommend this show to anyone and you can’t just watch it once.”

People rewatch shows for different reasons: they love the show so much, they might have missed something the first time they watched the show or they want to piece up a theory for a future event or season. Whatever the reason is, rewatching is always a good idea.
