Peak mess, 8 full seasons of it and a couple spinoff shows. Made no sense from the get-go and wow has it descended as the seasons have passed, but there’s something endearing about it when you’re not laughing out loud at all the plot holes, bad 10s fashion, and the classic big ballad at the end during a tense moment (think Ed Sheeran as the same characters almost or fully kiss for the first time). Like Gosip Girl and the OC, many of the episodes revolve around a nonsensical full cast party or event where peak drama develops; it’s somehow almost Founders’ Day or the decade dance at the high school these supernatural characters still sporadically attend. I regret nothing.

I am in my 30s and this is normal behavior. It’s so camp and the writing is terrible, makes for a laugh-out-loud time with high levels of 10s nostalgia (even though I didn’t see it the first time around)

I’m on my 5th rewatch of One Tree Hill.
Can’t get enough of the plot holes and silly dialogue.
Don’t ask me how many times I’ve seen Vampire Diaries.

Rewatching tv from your teen years and applying philosophical analysis, morality and ethical dilemmas as if you’re engaging with something that intended to be analysed. For example, is The Vampire Diaries a teen series about teen vampires, a love triangle and some scooby gang level shenanigans? Or, is it a delve into the psyche of characters dealt with the philosophical question: what would you do if you could live forever?, a story of the bond between two brothers, of sacrifice, of grief? Isn’t it about Stefan’s never ending and eternal love for his brother and the ends he would crawl to, what he would sacrifice, just so that his brother is happy? I think it’s both. Anyway.
