I don't know how else to describe it really, but what is a series (tv, books, comics, games, movies, anything really) that you find yourself coming back to time and time again just because it's something familiar and enjoyable; no matter how many times you've watched/read/played it?
I ask because I recently found myself rereading mine for the 6th time. I read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King back when I was in high school and loved it so much that, every couple years or so, I go back and read it again.
They don't change over time or anything, and I've come across every little detail and reference imaginable in them so it's not like there's anything new to discover. It just feels nice returning to them. It's like slipping back into a world I've been through with characters I'm so familiar with now that it's just extremely comforting and satisfying to revisit. It feels like a nice, safe zone to return to whenever I've finished reading something completely different.
To a lesser extent, I've found myself doing the same thing with the Phoenix Wright games, particularly the first three. I've played them so many times that there's nothing left to discover and no challenge there, but every couple years I still go back to replay them just because their really enjoyable to return to.
So what are some series that you've found yourself falling into time and time again due to your familiarity with them and the comfort you get from experiencing it all again and again? Can't imagine I'm the only one...
