Two of my favorite series of all time was Breaking Bad and House of Cards. There have been many before and after, but those two really hooked me early and kept me glued from beginning to end. (with exception to how poorly HOC ended)
Most big screen movies that feature Denzel, DeNiro, Pitt, and Pacino always rank high amongst my faves.
But here’s the thing. It’s a very rare thing for me to go back and watch them again. Aside from knowing the ending, every show has a timestamp on it -meaning it’s dated. It’s why I can’t watch movies from before I was born. They’re never as I remember them.
Growing up I loved Dukes of Hazzard, BJ & The Bear, Fallguy, Rockford Files, Charlie’s Angels… If you go back and watch any of them now, they are gut-wrenchingly terrible. I still love the Airwolf helicopter, but good God man, I can’t sit through a single episode – I tried.
Just like with relationships, I don’t believe in going backwards. Things are never as we remember them. All you do is tarnish the memories of what was once special.
