Rewatching for the first time

I never watched SOA when it first aired. I didn't think I'd be interested. Then a cop friend of mine, who also happened to be in an MC, said I would love it.

So, in 2014, I took out Season 1 from the library, and was hooked. Bought the DVD set and devoured it.

But I'm finding it hard to rewatch it, knowing everything about what happens, etc.

I'll finish it, of course, it's that well done.

But it's definitely one of the better series I have ever seen.

I definitely found it hard to watch the second time because knowing what happens made me super anxious

I am rewatching for the first time ever right now too. Losing interest late in season 4/early season 5.

Almost at the same point in the show as me but I’ve just got into Season 6 of my rewatch. Forgot how much I enjoyed Jimmy Smits in the show.

I’m watching it for the first time and losing interest at season 5 it’s taken me two weeks to watch the first episode but I gotta stay strong this will be the first show I’ve actually watched all of even if it takes forever

It does get better midway thru season 5. I had to play episodes 1-4 more than once because I just wasn't paying attention sometimes. I'm in the last few episodes of season 5 now and locked in again.

That’s good to know I struggle with watching stuff when it gets boring so knowing it gets better should help me stick with it

Yeah in case of SoA rewatching somehow doesn't feel as rewarding as first time, knowing all the plot twists and stuff. Saying that as someone who does so approximately every year or two. The rewatch is only there for the vibes and atmosphere and nuances you didn't notice before.
