Babylon 5.

I rewatch it every few years, this time with the SO who finally caved and decided to watch it with me. Despite having seen the entire series half a dozen times I'm still finding things I never noticed before. And while it's always been rather timeless, a lot of its themes are so much more applicable now than ever before. Cannot recommend it highly enough.

Other recent rewatches shared with the SO and found to have stood the test of time: Gargoyles, Batman TAS, Brisco County Jr, Daredevil, Star Trek TNG.

Silicon Valley

Monk, 30 rock, community, avatar, DS9, TNG, Babylon 5.

Caprica. I rewatched BSG (the RDM one) last year so I’m continuing on. My gods, the technology used to seem so futuristic and now it’s basically a fun game of “pick out the parts we in the real world can do now but couldn’t really do in 2010 when the show aired”

Tremors, because worms.

Futurama, which is basically on an endless loop before bed. It is just so clever and a great comfort show, with a bit of different animation and storytelling styles through the reboots and revivals.

Except the most recent season, it doesn't work for me so when it kicks in I switch back to season 1.

Doctor Who from Eccleston on. We missed much of it (including all of the Capaldi and Whitaker years) so it’s still new to us, and we’re catching up just in time for the new guy. I used to roll my eyes at folks who insisted Who was worth watching, but I was clearly wrong: It’s such a fun (and sometimes devastating) show. Loving it.

The Expanse, The Good Place, and for now Star Trek: Enterprise. Not that I'm planning to stop watching Enterprise, but in a few more episodes here it will start to be an initial watch. I forgot how it's Scott Bakula who's probably the worst part of the show in the early going, though.

Buffy, torchwood, firefly

Just finished rewatching The Magicians recently! The last season is so bad and cheesy lol. But I love it still. I’ll never not love Josh. I don’t know if you are at his introduction yet, but it’s so good, I always laugh so hard.

Currently I’m rewatching The Expanse. I’m having the same reaction, from the first season. Like I don’t remember anything basically, it’s great hahah

Dexter, the first couple seasons are incredible! The others do fall off a bit but still a great rewatch!

Starblazers.

Just recently finished rewatching House MD.

Hugh Laurie is ridiculously handsome. Olivia Wilde is beautiful beyond words.

And Jesse Spencer's hair, by the gods.

All up, the show meandered and was formulaic (by design). Parts of it aged terribly, but was a good rewatch

Mixing between MythBusters and Hogan's Heroes at the moment.

Because it’s good.
