Did You Ever Start Watching a Show Only to Realize You’ve Seen it Before?

I saw a preview of a show that looked interesting so I started watching it
I was ten minutes into it when I realized I’d already seen it
So I put on another one and I had the same experience. I had already seen it
So now I’m searching for something new

I feel like I have returend back home watching a film I have always loved, I have the video of The Sound of Music and whenever I put it one I practically hold my breath as I watch Julie Andrews appear on that mountian and then I get lost in the film all over again, Can hardly believe she is now 90.

I am like you in that respect. I feel comforted by an old favorite.

Many times, it starts to seem familiar after awhile, and yes I have watched it. Although if it was something I enjoyed I will usually watch it again. Sometimes I can't remember the ending.

It's happened a few times . Usually when I've watched something on Netflix. Someone will mention it as well worth watching , so I find it and start watching ...then I realise I've seen it already.

Was it “Deja Vu” starring Denzel Washington?

It does happen a few times when I am watching a show on streaming services only to realize that I have seen some of these road trips on highways in Louisiana or Arkansas before.
