There’s something thrilling about diving back into comfort shows that you used to obsess over during a time. The familiar characters return like memories, and the plot points you’d long forgotten take root once again. Sometimes it’s soothing to know that the shows you loved once still hold up. And sometimes it can be a reminder of how much you’ve grown apart from your favorite shows over the years.
Either way, rewatching a beloved series is comforting when the rest of the world feels chaotic and out of control. But before you press play on your tried-and-true, there might be another direction you can go this time. Read on for the comfort show you should jump back into, based on your zodiac sign.
Aries
Pretty Little Liars
Aries signs are known for their ambition and leadership, so they will love to dive back into a world in which the stakes are incredibly, dangerously high. Aries also aren’t afraid to face conflict, and there is a lot of drama to be witnessed in Pretty Little Liars from beginning to end. The show is not only edge-of-your-seat entertaining but will also appeal to the competitive nature of Aries signs as the characters fight to keep their secrets hidden.
Taurus
New Girl
Taurus signs love loyalty and comfort most, and few shows deliver those good vibes as effortlessly as New Girl. Whether it’s Schmidt putting money in his douchebag jar, or Jess singing about every little thing she does that day, these roommates are always a reliable laugh. Every season. For Taurus signs, New Girl is the perfect opportunity to relax and enjoy all the nostalgia of four thirty-somethings trying to adult in modern-day LA.
Gemini
Gossip Girl
Always running to the next thing, Gemini signs will love to once again race around the wild world of the OG Gossip Girl to escape the daily grind. The constantly evolving characters, the backstabbing, the drama, the fashion, and the ever-changing relationship statuses will satisfy and replenish the Gemini spirit. The plot twists, of which there are so many it’s easy to be surprised, will keep Geminis engaged and curious while they plot their next big move.
Cancer
Dawson’s Creek
As the sign that is often signified by the crab, cancers will benefit from rewatching a highly emotional show that will crack through that outer shell. Dawson’s Creek is quite possibly one of the most dramatic rewatches of the shows that traversed the late ’90s and early 2000s. Cancer signs can sit back, let their guard down, and let their natural empathy and emotions flow as they rewatch the iconic cast, including future Oscar-nominee Michelle Williams, proving that being in high school is perhaps the most poetic life experience of all.
Leo
Glee
Leos love the drama and are creative at heart, so what better way to recharge than by rewatching the cast of Glee sing and dance their hearts out to pretty much every iconic pop song? While the show is slightly more recent than other throwback shows, the musical theater vibes throughout Glee explore songs from several iconic decades. Passionate Leo signs can sing along with their favorites and bask in the high school drama that is the Glee club.
Virgo
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Organized and ready to check off their daily to-do list, sometimes a Virgo sign needs a brain break by rewatching something completely not about to-do lists. This is where Buffy the Vampire Slayer comes in, unless one counts tracking down vampires as a to-do list. With fantastical elements, a strong main character, and some really unpredictable, potentially world-ending stakes, this show will help practical and perfectionist Virgos regroup and get ready to take on their next world-dominating task.
Libra
Gilmore Girls
Libras are social butterflies that thrive on communication, so what better show to rewatch than Gilmore Girls, in which every episode is filled with the witty dialogue of the people of Stars Hollow? Quick to leap into matters of the heart, Libra signs will have no problem following the ups and downs of Rory and Lorelai’s lives. Since balance and harmony are a Libra’s bread and butter, they will be rooting for the main characters to figure it out, and perhaps remember that through the chaos (i.e., anything Kirk is involved in) a recentering can begin.
Scorpio
Friends
Scorpios can be delightfully passionate and intense, and what better way to celebrate this than with the cast of Friends? Whether it’s Joey and Chandler’s love for that weird dog statue, Monica’s love of cleaning, Phoebe’s love of song, or Rachel and Ross’ endless love for being on a break, rewatching these characters will engage a Scorpio’s dynamic sensibilities. Every episode will make this sign want to get out there and hang out with their friends, jumping into life with the courage that Scorpios exhibit best.
Sagittarius
Emily in Paris
Sagittarius signs love to explore and know that there is more to life than routine. For this reason, the best Sagittarius show to rewatch is one that exhibits an extreme example of adventure, perhaps in which a woman decides to leave her life behind and move across the world. Emily in Paris delivers all of that easy-to-love escapism that will resonate with their interest in world travel and spiritual adventures. Plus, a new season is coming this December, so it’s a sign to play catch-up before it arrives!
Capricorn
Schitt’s Creek
Watching the Rose family have everything they own stolen, then start over in the town the son originally bought as a bit, is certainly a unique challenge. Like you, the Roses can definitely be stubborn about change. But they are capable of more than they realize. With comedy, character growth, and resilience sprinkled throughout this six-season run, Schitt’s Creek‘s vibe is perfect for keeping Capricorns engaged and reflective through every episode.
Aquarius
Sex and the City
Aquarius signs know how to live life on their own terms, and so do the characters in Sex and the City. A rewatch of this series is an invitation to unpack the friendships and relationships that shaped the lives of the main characters and were cemented in pop culture. Since every Aquarius is constantly looking for innovative stories, they might find themselves looking at the show analytically because it was once known for its groundbreaking format and themes. A re-journey through this series might inspire an Aquarius to shake up their life and continue trying new things.
Pisces
The Vampire Diaries
A Pisces loves fantasy and is constantly dreaming, so of course they must rewatch a show that taps into that. Look no further than The Vampire Diaries. Full of romance, vampires (of course), witches, high school tropes, longing glances, and so much more, this show will help any Pisces remember that they can do anything, even if their dream is to hang out with a vampire. The show is the perfect mix of fantasy and reality that will tap into both sides of every Pisces’ heart.
