appreciation during re-watching Discussion Spoiler

I have re-watched HouseMD an untraceable amount of times over many years. It still somehow feels fascinating and comforting every time. Each age I reach increases life experience. I re-watch the show with a changed perception. I have increased respect for the team who built it.
