Thinking about my memory issues and how it affects my recollection of fictional works. I just finished my second watching of the Netflix animated series Dead End: Paranormal Park. The first time was a bit more than two years ago. I remember the timing as it ties in with certain things that happened in my life.
I didn't remember practically anything before it happened. Yet, there was this familiarity. I knew the characters. I recognized many things as the story unfolded. I didn't remember the big reveal. I had remembered that the show was cancelled before the final season, well enough so that I actually ordered the graphic novels the series is based on soon after I started my second watching. I still didn't remember how super-irritating the ending was with all the build-up for Season 3.
This is where I actually like my memory issues. I usually need repeated watching to remember the show so my second watching doesn't often feel like the second. It's a funny feeling. I know I like the show, it feels familiar, I know the characters (but not really their backstories) but I'm in the dark as to what will happen.
