rewatches
Sees once more
Rewatches is the act of watching something again—a movie, TV series, or video previously seen.
The word appears as both noun and verb: My annual rewatches of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, She rewatches her favorite episodes when she's stressed.
The practice has grown with streaming, where entire seasons are available for repeated viewing.
