The Wire.
I downloaded the entire series in 2010, hoping I could binge-watch it while I'm still on night shift. Couldn't get myself to finish the slow boring pilot, set it aside, and forgot about it completely.
More than 10 years later, I see it on HBO Max remastered. Managed to survive EP1, and quickly after that, I couldn't wait to watch every other episode.
I've always said the best shows are the ones wherein you can name every character to even the smallest one and know why they stuck with you. The Wire is one of those and remains my favorite of all time.
It also has a very high rewatch value. Each time through you notice something you missed the previous times.
I find myself rewatching occasionally it when I introduce someone new to the series.
