Where before watching nostalgia TV was a millenial quirk, now it seems the entire world is craving a journey back in time to a simpler, less absolutely terrifying decade: the 90s. That's right, it turns out we're all rewatching shows we've seen a thousand times.
Why is the 90s the perfect era for this? Well, because these are the shows that for years shaped our (sometimes questionable) fashion choices and became the basis for our lifelong crush on Angel in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. And because delving back into a series you know like the back of your hand feels like a massive comfort blanket right now.
Before the era of TOWIE, Made in Chelsea, Love Island and binge watching on Netflix took over our lives, true 90s kids will remember this frankly unmatched era of television and guess what? We're ready to dive back in.
How many can you remember? Get all the snacks in for a streaming session now.
