Anyone else find themselves having commitment issues when it comes to starting a new show? Starting a new show is exciting, but sometimes it’s comforting to go back and hang out with old friends. There aren’t any surprises in rewatching your favorite show and it can be fun to go back and notice things that you missed the first time around. We love rewatching our favorite shows and re-experiencing stories that we fell in love with. Here are a few of our favorite worlds that we frequently binge over and over again without getting tired of it.
One Tree Hill
We can’t help but revisit our favorite town of Tree Hill constantly. One Tree Hill is our all time favorite high school drama and definitely the most re-watched show on this list. It follows outcast Lucas who ends up joining the school basketball team, run by his rival half brother, Nathan. There’s drama, friendships, love, betrayal, heartbreak and more. It’s amazing to see these characters grow and develop over the course of nine seasons.

The Vampire Diaries
If you’re in the mood for some good times (and let’s face it, a little bit of pain), then this is a fun one to rewatch.
Watch on Netflix
The 100
Although The 100 is still currently on the air for the last season, we still rewatch previous seasons often. We enjoyed those seasons a lot more than where the show is currently, so it’s nice to go back sometimes. Rewatching gives us nostalgic feels and makes us remember why we love the show so much. We love how it’s the original delinquents in the early seasons just figuring out how to survive on Earth without the adults. Rewatching the progression of Bellarke ( ), is always an equally annoying and enjoyable experience.

Teen Wolf
We recently just rewatched and filmed our reaction for the first episode of Teen Wolf and it was so much fun to go back. Before that, we hadn’t watched the pilot in a while so it was very nostalgic for us. The cast looked so young and watching brought back a lot of memories for us. If you have never watched Teen Wolf before because you thought it looked silly, we really recommend you give it a try. The actors are really talented and the plot lines, though complicated at times, are interesting and deal with all sorts of mythology. It’s basically about a teenage boy named Scott McCall who gets bit by a werewolf one night in the woods and how he navigates through high school with his friends as a supernatural being. This is one of those shows that you will get really attached to the characters, because they are the best part of the show.

Smallville
Smallville is our all time favorite superhero show! We absolutely love going back and rewatching as young Clark Kent, Tom Welling, discovers the truth about his past and learns about the different powers he has. Since the show starts with Clark as a freshman in highschool, you see him all throughout school and after as a reporter for the Daily Planet. It’s fun for both comic book fans, and those who aren’t familiar with the comics, to see all the villains Clark has to defeat. The story with Lex Luthor, played by Michael Rosenbaum, in particular is done incredibly well. You also see other iconic characters such as Lana Lang, Jimmy Olsen, and of course, Louis Lane and all the romance that comes along with it.

Once Upon A Time
If you’re in a fairytale kind of mood where you want to watch a show about magic, disney characters, and curses, then Once Upon a Time is for you. A young boy named Henry who lives in a magical town of Storybrooke finds his birth mom in the hopes she is the chosen one who can break the curse and set the characters free. The show features fairytale characters like Snow White, Prince Charming, the Evil Queen, and more! The series itself grows and evolves but one of the things that’s really fun is that there are many episodes that tell the story of your favorite characters such as Ariel, Cinderella, and little Red Riding Hood. All the brilliant twist that it puts on our favorite stories makes this extra exciting to watch.
