rewatch

See it twice

To rewatch is to watch something again—a movie, a TV series, a video.

The word implies deliberate return rather than accidental repetition: I've rewatched that scene a dozen times.

Some shows reward rewatching with details missed the first time.

As a noun, a rewatch is the act itself: The movie holds up on rewatch.
