My wife gave me the choice between a new crime drama or rewatching 'The Wire' for the third time, and I picked the rewatch.

After the first episode, I realized I was catching dialogue and character glances I'd completely missed before, which makes me wonder what other shows are actually better the second time around.

The real rewatch gold is in shows that were a mess the first time. "Lost" is the big one. First time through you're just mad about the polar bear. Second time, you see all the character stuff they were building under the weird smoke monster nonsense. You stop waiting for answers and just watch people fall apart.

Totally, the character drama was always the real show.
