I have followed the series Suits and watch it through, then watch it again the next hour and if I can again later in the week. There are several times you miss an aside or a nuance in the first watching and it makes far more sense the second or third time! Brilliant series.

I've recently started watching 'Lost' again. Not sure it was such a good idea now...
I think it's one of the best I've seen for a while.
Suits, that is.

You really need to see it from the beginning though, to appreciate what is going on in the firm, and why some of the characters don't get on with each other. Its great feeling that you know whats going on in the background though. Very clever writing.
Suits is the only programme I religiously follow, the only other one was Rescue Me with Denis Leary.
Not heard of suits, may have to check it out.
I rewatch programmes with lots of twists, see if you can see them coming second time around, and a few comedies, for bits I may have missed or just to have a laugh :-)
i watch doc martin over and over and the tv pride and predjudice with collin firth
I have Friends on DVD and every couple of years I'll watch the whole lot. Recently I have started watching Law and Order | UK again on ITV3. I'm on my second time round the whole series...

chelle your avatar reminded me that I also like to watch Big Bang Theory again and again, and oh the joy when you find an episode you haven't seen before! Same with My Name Is Earl.
Doc Martin
Anything with Paul O'Grady and animals. Only Fools And Horses
Open all hours and Porridge.
The Chase.
I have been watching I Claudius and enjoying it just as much as the first time around. Would also like to watch the original Forstye Sage (b&w).
I also adore Suits, but I also watch Pride and Pred over and over and Sharpe.
Lankeela, Big bang theory was what i was thinking of when I mentioned comedies, remembering I missed a line the first time I watched this weeks episode. My son got me into it so there are quite a few earlier episodes I've missed and enjoy catching up with.
I love My Name Is Earl too. :)
I watched Friends over and over and over again, until freeview stopped showing it - I was devastated !!
I also adore Suits with a passion.

What I love about these serial dramas from America is their assumed intelligence levels on behalf of the audience - started back when Hill Street Blues first aired.

These dramas keep a selectiojn of running storylines and previous episodes playing out right through a series, and often will into future series as well.

This, a character may re-appear from two or three series' earlier who had a major impact on existing characters, who continue to react accordingly.

If you are new to the series, you won;t have a clue what is happening, because these undercurrents are not explained - you are simply supposed to know because you have watched, understood, and remembered what was shown to you previously.

It's the exact opposite of a thiorty-minuite documentary where they spend the last minute up the ad-break telling you want is coming up, and then spending the first part of the second section reminding you what you have just watched, followed by the piece they trailed about three minutes previously - t.v. for the hard-of-thinking!!

chelle7272, my advice is to get Suits as a box set and follow it from Episode One. There are events there that re-echo throughout series' two and three that, as i said, are not explained, so you may have trouble following what is going on.

Do watch out for Megan Markle (Rachel) and the way she walks - awesome!!
'Vicar of Dibley' Love it, I've got my grandaughters hooked on it too.

'Scott & Baily' I'll watch over & over. Also like 'Cash-Cab UK'...

Yes - Minder

What's Minder , I hear you say ?

It's a comedy drama , about a lovable rogue and his side kick ; currently being repeated ( again ) on itv 4 . ( originally aired between 1979 to 1994 )

The characters ' Arthur Daley ' and ' Terry McCann ' are brilliantly played by George Cole and Dennis Waterman .
Any original Tom & Jerry, but the 'modern' ones are to be scorned as useless.
I can't think of anything worse than watching the same thing over and over again :-/

My oh watches all the repeats of Top Gear on Dave and it drives me bonkers.
Thanks Andy, think i might just invest in that box set. I wasn't impressed by the adverts for it, but have heard some good things now.

Agree about TOM & Jerry - but not when they speak, that's just wrong!
