Why do we keep re-watching nostalgic TV series?

Mental Health, Popular Culture, Psychology, TV & Film

How often do you sit down and re-watch one of your favourite tv series? There’s something about the feeling we get when we revisit a show that gave us so much pleasure during a different time in our lives.

Guest: Anjum Naweed is Professor of Human Factors at CQ University.
