The Comfort of the Rewatch: Why Matthew Revisits His Favorite Shows When the World Is Wild
For most of my life, I’ve been a one-and-done kind of TV viewer. Watch it once, maybe cry a little (or a lot), file it into the “Emotionally Wrecked” section of my brain, and move on. I’ve never understood people who rewatch shows over and over again. There’s so much new content out there, why
