So, what older shows have you choosen or been able to revisit since lockdown began, are your rewatching or finally doing a complete watch?
I've watched House MD, complete series over again, I own it on DVD but surprisingly there were a few minor episodes I'd missed.
I've watched The Middle, pretty much through, Chuck, season 4 I'd missed somehow and I never guessed how many cameos where in that show until now, I'm watching LOST too, it has aged well as a series I think.
I might go back to the beginning of Walking Dead but there's a lot of content I dont really care to repeat in that show actually, its good but some episodes I do think were gratuitous in their violence. Perhaps that may be the wrong word and I do think it was a more or less accurate depiction of how cruelty and sadism can become normative quickly in a traumatized and repeatedly retraumatized population. Although I kind of dont want to repeatedly watch that kind of thing. I do like some of the seasons, although they are later ones, of Fear The Walking Dead, for how they sought to build a counter narrative, a strong one, about helping versus hurting others.
Some of these shows, on he second watch have a kind of comforting/nostalgia factor, others are just really good shows, what do you think? Are you rewatching anything older? Are you paying attention to it all second time around or is it just background noise and focal point (like a fireplace would have been in the past)?
