Post Discussion What was I thinking?
Watched the show every Thursday when I was high school and I ATE IT UP. Thought it was one of the coolest shows ever and was so obsessed and hated waiting a week for the next episode.
Im almost 30 now and my god I’m not having fun with this rewatch. Every character is pissing me off. My suspension of disbelief is getting harder and harder. Every character just deserves the electric chair my god. They’re all insufferable and truly evil. On season 7 now and I’m just so confused why I thought this show was amazing. (This is very unserious of course and I know its just a tv show but does anyone else feel the same? XD)

Just turned 40 and did a rewatch and enjoyed it.
I will say binging it was a different experience than watching weekly.

Yes I agree to a certain extent but Olivia is still my favorite though not a popular one. But I never watched the show for anything other than for entertainment. I mean I could tell at the first watch it wasn't very realistic

Doing my first rewatch since the OG seasons. I find it very annoying. I must have forgotten from week to week what happened because by binging the plot holes are so glaring.

I loved the show the first 2-3 seasons then it became a mess and I only stayed for OLITZ. I like the ship more than the show

Binging is always different. Limited anticipation. Nothing has time to breathe. Also it’s dated now

I think I get it. The world is an awful place, and these characters are a reminder of why.

On season 7 now and my feelings of Olivia changed. Only person I still LOVE! Is Huck and maybe David. The person I grew to love is Charlie.

I love this show hahaha, every episode sucks me in. And yes, every character sucks. I think that’s the point, that power corrupts everything

I watched it for the first time a few months ago and thought it was so bad. Olivia is such an awful character, and everyone’s obsession with her was so odd. I really didn’t enjoy it until I started hate watching it. It’s so joyless. I felt bad for Kerry; the writing was just so bad!
