Über diesen Titel
Some shows don’t just end; they betray you, and suddenly the whole series becomes impossible to rewatch.
This episode started with Will’s Substack piece on “unrewatchable TV,” and we take it from there: why How I Met Your Mother feels like a trust fall that never got caught, why Game of Thrones is still rewatchable for some people even after a rushed finale, and the three big ways a show becomes unrewatchable:
- The ending breaks trust,
- The show crosses a “trauma threshold,” or
- It ages so poorly you can’t unsee it.
We also get into the peak-end rule (your brain remembers the emotional peak and the ending), why reboots like the upcoming Harry Potter series feel personal, and what we’ll always rewatch when life is doing the most.
Discussed: HIMYM, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, House of the Dragon, Cheers, Buffy, Firefly/Serenity, Succession, Schitt’s Creek, Steven Universe, Broad City. Plus a quick tease for a future Stranger Things episode.
