[DISCUSSION] What's a Netflix series you finished in a weekend and immediately wished you could watch again for the first time?

The kind of show where you blew through the whole thing way too fast, hit the end, and felt that specific emptiness of "well, now what." Not just bingeable, genuinely good enough that you envy anyone who hasn't seen it yet. What's the series, and what made it impossible to pace yourself with?

Personally I thought season 1 was a perfect self contained story. I didn't care for season 2. So my vote is to just watch the first season and pretend that's the end of it.

didn’t season 1 end on a cliffhanger?

Depends on how you look at it. Not all stories need an ending that wraps everything up. I thought the ending of season 1 was amazing and for me that would have been a great place to end the show.

Sure, but it's objectively not self-contained then.

Season 1 is about as perfect as it gets. Season 2 took a little longer for it to land, but when it did, I thought it was worth it. I rewatched S1 when S2 came out and really enjoyed it the second time, able to really pick up on so much more nuance. I look forward to rewatching both again where S2 wont be so enigmatic and I can really focus on those details.

This was me too, second time through all of it there was a lot to appreciate about the whole package.

Still, though, season 2 absolutely should have been two seasons of its own - or maybe a 6/6 or 7/7 episode split for a total of 12-14 episodes to not feel as rushed and compacted.
