The more middle aged I get, I can just rewatch series over and over. They’re new every time.
Cuts down on streaming bills.

The silver lining to having sht memory.
If I stop playing a video game for even a couple weeks I forget everything in terms of the mechanics, crafting, and inventory etc and lose interest.
My least favorite is when you go back to watch season 1, enjoy it, then watch the new season and you can't even finish it due to how different it is
Oof altered carbon got me that hard. The first season is so confusing and amazing. The second season.... Well

Firefly is coming back?!?
Babylon 5 had the right idea. Do an animated version; you can keep all the original actors and have much wilder special effects
That doesn't work, because I rewatch it so often I remember everything.
This is presently happening with me for invincible. Season two just started and I have no idea what happened to get us where we are.
But Dr. Who is returning, so I'm rewatching the entire series. Just got to Matt Smith....
All 39 seasons? You are a madman!

Attack on Titan. I lost interest at some point in the few year gap.
I'd say you just saw the best of it

Doesn't happen if you only watch obscure >decade old single season animes
Never mind the fact that I'll never find another person who watched and liked From the New World, or Canaan, or Flip Flappers
Except this literally happened to old single season anime FLCL which started getting new seasons fifteen years later.
Personally I see it as a selling feature knowing that an anime is only going to be one or two cour. I don't like to watch series that never end so it's nice knowing that the story has a conclusion.
Who said that these anime ends after one season? Many times, they have a cliff hanger ending because the producers were hoping to get a second season or they are a faithful adaptation of the first part of a manga that is only half finished.

This happened to my wife and I with season 4 or Ozark. Fortunately I found a well made video on YouTube that summarized Seasons 1-3. I was amazed at how much stuff we had forgotten.
does recaps and is actually good. Like, so good that he's worth watching on his own
Thank you for sharing! My partner has this problem and these recaps could be perfect

I want to watch season 2 of Dark but I don't have it in me to rewatch and get my brain organized for season 1.

Futurama season 8 teaches us about the dangers of binging
I like them as great excuses for a rewatch.
I recently watched GenV, so many Boys references and world things that I've restarted The Boys.
That‘s not bad. You could also get excited about a show getting 2 new seasons and then you realize they fucking suck.

Lately I've just been rewatching the final episode of the previous season before starting a new one. I'm a little lost in that episode but by the end I'm following along, and it's usually an exciting finale episode that gets me excited to watch the next episode.
Still waiting for Mindhunter... Guess I'll wait forever
Worst part is having to watch everything all over again and then starting to remember what happens which spoils it
Severance
Still trying to catch back up on Adventure Time
That's the fun of it, you rewatch season 1 and used that knowledge to criticise how bad season 2 become.
Bonus point is you rewatch the original series and use that knowledge to criticise how bad the sequel is. Hello Legend of Korra.
Korra had so much promise, but you should absolutely be blaming Nickelodeon for constant interference. Nickelodeon alone ruined the potential of that show.

And how fucked Korra made the LITERAL EMBODIMENTS OF NATURE!
She just did.
How did toddler Korra learn 3 element without being taught? She just did.
How did everyone suddenly able to use air bending so effectively without being taught, where Katara and Toph barely even know how to control their element when they first discover they are a bender? They just did.
The show moved the plot with "just happened to be" with nonsensical exposition. It's a mess.
