"It's Physically Painful To Endure" – People Are Sharing The TV Episodes They Will Always Skip When Rewatching A Show

"It's poorly characterised and not even redeemed toward the end of the episode."

"That episode did not age well and it’s so over-the-top offensive and cringy, I cannot."

—aliroseharris

"Viewers watched Stannis go from Stannis the Mannis to the worst parent in the history of television."

"It's physically painful to endure."

"I live for the drama of it, I don't want to hear them belting out songs while they’re in a life-or-death situation! Ruins the suspense."

"I skip the whole season, and it's not even because Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) is no longer on there. It's more because I'm annoyed that almost all the other new characters and storylines didn't mean much when they tied them all up."

"I like the start of the season because it shows a good relationship between Nathan and Lucas, plus it has Haley's singing debut. After the sleepover episode, I tend to skip them all because of the major fallout between Haley and Nathan was a big cliche. Also, there were the ever-so-pointless characters of Felix and Anna."

"I rewatch the series at least once a year and I skip that episode almost every time because of how sad it makes me."

"It's the one where David gets kidnapped. SFU has a lot of emotional episodes and it's oddly cathartic to watch them and have a good cry, but that particular one is just too brutal and painful to rewatch."

"That episode sucks on every single level, and them eloping is just the rotten cherry on top of an awful sundae."

—aylarios

"The entire episode is just a massive ‘previously on’ retelling bits of the entire story. Like...I’ve watched it all!! I hate ‘clip’ episodes of shows. I’ve literally only watched it that once, whenever I’m watching the series again I skip so hard."

"Any episode of Friends that has Monica in a fat suit."

—karenzeuske

"Not even the showrunners can call this episode canon with a straight face."

—joshlemmings

"There's no plot advancement and it's a boring episode compared with the series as a whole. Yeah yeah, It's supposed to be a metaphor but I've rewatched the series twice and skipped it both times, and definitely haven't missed it."

"It's the one where the girl turns into a slab of concrete and her boyfriend at the end alludes to how they are still able to be intimate. When the show misses, it REALLY misses."

—notagoodusername

"Jamie's torture and SA is played out in graphic detail, and it is too painful to watch. I skipped the majority of the episode the first time around, and I think I'll skip them altogether if I rewatch the series."

—sageandlinen

"It's the episode where Mark Greens dies. The episode takes place entirely in Hawaii and covers Mark's last few days, spending time with his wife and daughters. Seen it once, cried my eyes out, and don’t need to put myself through it again."

—stephanieh120

"Not because it's a bad episode, quite the opposite. However, I think a lot of Bojack fans can agree that reliving the heartbreaking last days of Sarah Lynn more than once is too much. I skip it on every rewatch now to preserve my own happiness."

—lolaistrash

"Buffy is my favourite TV show of all time, but I always skip this episode. Willow's cyber-relationship may have been a pretty good depiction of a new problem at the time – but I've always found the episode so awkward and it's just a bit out of date these days."

—fayeolivia90

"In the episode, we don't see the characters we watch and enjoy the show for, and just get other historic made-up characters that I don't find funny."
