10 Most Rewatchable TV Shows Of All Time

10. Community

Yes, the fourth season of Community is pretty poor, but ignoring that, Dan Harmon’s ingeniously meta comedy is tailor made for repeat viewings. It’s one of the most densely packed shows in recent years, not necessarily with jokes but with rewarding Easter eggs, pop cultural references, and callbacks.

When it was in its heyday, it was among the most exciting shows on TV, doing something completely different, seemingly evolving by the week as the creators realised just how much they could get away with and the limits (or lack thereof) they could push the show to.

It fell off, and while it clawed back some of its previous grandeur, seasons five and six (in which spiky showrunner Harmon was reinstated following his sacking) never hit the same heights as the show’s first half. Even so, it’s fascinating to rewatch for the changes, seeing the writers think on their feet as cast members moved on and the show’s focus shifted.

Those first three seasons, though, are rewatchable time and again on their own merit. Funny, daring, wildly creative, they offered something truly special.
