Ha! Jokes on them! I'm middleaged, tired and depressed. I just watch the same shows over and over again.
My wife is also like this and I honestly think the algorithm is geared towards this pattern. It constantly offers a ton of stuff you've already watched.
"Hey you liked The Stranger, well i have the perfect movie for you, it's called The Stranger"
My wife always goes back to the same things over and over. Sometimes it's Band of Brothers, and I'm like "Awesome, but there's only so many times I can watch Toye and Guarnere get their legs blown off."
But then she'll put on New Girl for the 15th time through (I don't even think I'm exaggerating) and I want to put a gun in my mouth. I want to punch every one of those characters in the face. Except for Winston, he's cool.
Same! What are your shows? I'm always playing Seinfeld, Office, Arrested Development.
Mostly car restoration shows.
Since I had my daughter I dont have whole weekends to spend armpits deep in engine bays swearing at spanners.
Makes sense! I need to branch out for sure. I rewatch those shows all the time because I find them familiar and comfortable.
Agatha Christie’s Poirot is pretty great
Looks good! And it's got 13 seasons. Thanks!
Bojack Horseman is good.
Sure it's not Ibsen but it's a perfectly serviceable depression re watch.
Time to put The Office on for the 150th time!
Same. Star trek is always there for me.
i started to watch shows that i was too busy to watch when i was younger... ie: i just finished watching the oc, i watched scrubs and degrassi for the first time during covid. i'm thinking of watching skins (uk) now.
