With thousands of new titles dropping every month, a growing number of viewers are quietly closing the new releases tab and heading straight back to Schitt's Creek or The Office — for the fourth time. Is this algorithm fatigue talking, or are we just finally being honest about what we actually want from our screens?
Every few months another beloved show crawls back from the dead, and somehow we're always first in line to watch it. The reunion boom isn't slowing down — but between the genuine victories and the legacy-wrecking disasters, it's worth asking who this is really for.
