I’m re-watching The Magicians with my wife, since she’s never seen it. It’s been long enough since I watched it last that I don’t remember a lot of things that happened, so there’s a lot of “I forgot got that!” moments for me, which is fun.

    I’m rewatching House, one random episode at a time. It’s a more fun experience than watching it in sequence, and the show has held up amazingly well compared to my other favorite shows.

      More fun to watch it randomly? Not sure I see why. :)

        To be clear, it’s more fun to re-watch on shuffle, not for the first time. If I restart watching sequentially, I would start remembering the upcoming plot points from my previous watch. This way, it’s more fun to me. It’s like viewing your old photos. It’s more fun when you pick a random photo instead of starting from the beginning and moving down.

          Yeah that’s true actually. :)

        I also started watching it recently and gave up on it pretty quickly. It always seemed to be pretty much the same story arc in every episode.
