Original post...


Alright, after a few failed attempts at a board rewatch, I think we can pull it off now that it is hitting the masses (Netflix) on the 17th.

If it's been over a year since you've watched it that means it's time for a rewatch. If you haven't watched it, it's time to start.

Here's my suggestion on how we go about it, feel free to offer a better way. It's better for discussion purposes if it's a paced watch, not a binge. I feel like a good pace could be 3(?) episodes a week. That would possibly satisfy those that watch at a faster pace but allow those that watch at a slower pace to keep up.

I could update the OP every week, for example, this Thursday the OP would be S1, EP1-3. Next Thursday, S2, EP3-5, and so on and so on. We would finish the show in 12 weeks at that pace. That seems a little slow actually because first timers are for sure going to get hooked and want to zoom through We could keep spoilers out by just discussing up to what we've watched/not past the OP title.

What say you? Jack Rackham LFG!
