Ruined a rewatch by checking the wiki first, now I can't enjoy anything

Sitting in my living room at 2 AM last Tuesday, I started rewatching Dark and decided to look up one small detail about the time loops. Three hours later I had read the entire episode breakdown and every fan theory. Now whenever a twist happens, I just nod and think about the flowchart that ruined it all. I did the same thing with Mr. Robot and it stole all the tension. Does anyone else have a show they wish they had never spoiled for themselves, or am I the only one who does this to their own fun?

Once you know the trick, every rewatch becomes an archaeology dig instead of a ride, and that's a whole different kind of fun.

and honestly that's the best part about it for me. you go from just watching to actively hunting for stuff, like little breadcrumbs the writer left on purpose. every pause or zoom becomes a clue, and you start noticing the same object in different scenes or the way someone's always holding their cup a certain way. it turns a 2 hour movie into a whole weekend project, and I'm totally here for that. plus it makes you feel smart when you finally piece it together, even if you're the only one who cares about it.
