Sometimes you're just not in the mood to watch something new. And that's okay, because there are plenty of good reasons to watch certain TV shows multiple times.
It's incredibly rewarding to watch complex dramas or meta comedies that rapidly fire off jokes because there's a lot you might've missed the first (or second, or third) time around. And a few shows are worth revisiting simply for nostalgia's sake.
We put together a list of the most rewatchable shows that are great to revisit for either (or both) of those reasons, from "Arrested Development" to "Mad Men."

"Game of Thrones"
To really understand what's happening on "Game of Thrones," it's necessary to rewatch. You'll re-learn a lot of things you may have forgotten, like why Arya and Sansa's relationship is strained, and you'll also learn completely new things, like how Daenerys is connected to all this in the first place. There's a lot of family trees and names and places in this show, so for the most effective "Game of Thrones" rewatch, turn on the captions.
Available to stream on HBO Go or HBO Now.
"The Good Place"
"The Good Place" is the most ambitious show on TV, and every episode is more unexpected than the last. It's gusty, cute, and full of so-bad-that-they're-good puns that you could've missed the first time you watched the show. When you rewatch the show, you'll see all the foreshadowing pointing to the shows many narrative and character twists that you probably overlooked the first time you saw it.
"30 Rock"
Similar to "Arrested Development" in its visual gags and meta jokes, "30 Rock" is still as fresh as it was when it premiered over ten years ago on NBC. Even its pop culture references kind of work better than they did back then. And yes, we are definitely thinking of the episode where Jerry Seinfeld guest-starred just to plug "Bee Movie" in 2007.
Available to stream on Hulu.
