15. It will not disappoint upon rewatching

I've seen it through a few times. The earlier seasons I've seen several times, and Season 4 (which I consider, along with Season 2 of Fargo, and sometimes Season 3 of The Wire, as probably the best single season of any television series ever made) I've probably seen one more than the others. (If you do rewatch it, though, prepare yourself for a letdown midway through Season 5, because there is a moment where you suddenly realize they could ruin it all. But it's still worth finishing.)

Anyway, I think you'll find it every bit as mind-blowing incredible as you did the first time around.
