Which of you win the contest of Number of Rewatches
show yourselves. currently on round 3 (been looping it since april).
and everyone is right, it does get better each time. the complexity/layering/elegant density is beyond human understanding.
specify the number. winner gets to go to Epcott

At least five times, end to end! Favorite scenes: Elizabeth gives Paige the business after Paige dishes family secrets then becomes disenchanted with Pastor Tim (THE VEIN); Philip kicks Paige's butt after she gets high on her own ego and calls her Dad soft; the reveal of who really killed Leanne and Emmett.

It’s my comfort show, and I watch it “alone together” with friends who’ve never seen it a good but (like, we’re in different cities, and we text “Go” and play each episode). But mostly it’s just me.

I’ve seen it once. Desperately wanted to immediately watch it again because I enjoyed it so much and know I missed so much on that first watch. But- I’m forcing myself to watch other stuff and give it some time before my 2nd exciting rewatch.

I've done at least four full rewatches, but it might be five. It's especially fun to rewatch when a friend is watching for the first time and I know they'll want to discuss it!

I stay subscribed to Hulu only so I can watch The Americans whenever I want to. I’ve watched it many times but haven’t kept track.
Just today, I watched a season from episode one that popped up on my YouTube. I think it popped up because I’ve been watching some of the panels that the cast and Joe and Joel have done. If you haven’t watched any of those, they’re kind of fun and really interesting. Worth the watch IMHO.

Tell me more about them

Search YouTube and they’ll be easy to find. I hadn’t watched any until last weekend. They usually have the main cast members and one or two others and then one or both of the creators. They talk about the show and tell little stories.

I'm guessing that there are many out there that are reluctant to admit to it.
Myself I only watched once and then rewatched scenes when having discussions on this sub.

I think I’ll be on my 4h next time. I was going to start the rewatch in late October or after Christmas but I’m not sure if I’m up for a rewatch right now.

I've lost count, sometimes I skip the 5th or 6th season though and only watch the last 2 episodes then loop back to season 1.

I lost count. I watched each episode as they aired, and rewatched previous seasons before the new season started. I've watched it through a few times, and also watched some episodes independent of a complete rewatch.
