Why do we keep watching the same shows over and over? In this episode of Streamline, we talk to the iconic Vanessa Williams – the face of so many of our favourite comfort shows – about the irresistible pull of nostalgia and why rewatching old favourites feels so good. From the psychology of comfort viewing to the billion-dollar rerun business, we dive into how familiar TV has become our collective coping mechanism, and what it says about us.
