It's absolutely tragic. I think it's super difficult to put ourselves in his shoes unless you have suffered from the challenges of CP. And it's a condition that's crazy diverse. The fact that he was so high functioning makes this truly beyond awful.
Got screwed by a business manager who stole a ton of his money and he was basically broke with massive debt owed to the IRS. Really sad story.

Oh...wow. That's beyond sad and terrible.

15 times?!? The finale was 13 years ago. You watched the entire series every year since then? I loved Breaking Bad, but sheesh.
I have a friend who has watched it 3 times since the finale (once solo, once with a roommate, and once with his wife) and I thought that was extreme.

Yeah it's definitely been like a comfort show I've thrown on a lot. probably watched it legit 5 or 6 times. The other times I'm skimming through a decent amount of scenes I find uninteresting. Haven't watched in over a year though so think I may have finally tired myself out with it haha.
Have never seen that show.

It's a great show, well worth your time. Watch and enjoy.
But I've only seen each episode once because I don't get watching the same series over and over and over again.

I can't watch dramas a second time. Doesnt do anything for me. But if it's a really good comedy, i can watch it over and over and still love it

Oh, I'll see that a funny Seinfeld episode is on and I'll tune in for 15 minutes (or maybe all of it), but I'm not rewatching year after year of Seinfeld in order. I did rewatch the first two episodes of Fleabag recently and laughed ... though I will say I didn't laugh as much as I did the first go-round.
One I think I probably would enjoy rewatching is Veep ... but that was a lot of seasons.

I'll say, the streaming era has changed it a bit. Shows like GOT, or other HBO classics, where I waited a week for every episode, I wouldn't rewatch. But stuff that I binged or blew through multiple episodes or seasons in a short time frame, I could probably watch a second time cause they weren't as memory holed. For example, obviously pre-streaming, but I binged Sopranos on HBO Go in my late 20s when I had 2 weeks between jobs. Then I rewatched it a few years ago with my wife who had only seen a few seasons during its original run back in the day. Some of it I remembered, which was a bit annoying, but enough was like "oh yea" after the fact or I didn't remember at all, which was great.
I'll agree with comedies though. I don't think Ive went through and done full on, multi season series viewings, but Ive rewatched big chunks or full seasons of various Danny McBride vehicles (Eastbound and Down, Vice Principals, Gemstones) pretty often. They remain hysterical. I have a good friend who has probably watched all or 75%+ of the Office, New Girl, and another show I forgot, multiple times through with his wife.
