I'd argue that if you only watch a recorded program once you haven't really seen it.

It's impossible to catch everything in a well made film on first viewing. Not everything is worth watching more than once but for me the first rewatch of a good movie or show is actually much better than the first viewing.

I like knowing what is going to happen, and having the freedom to let my attention wander to aspects of the media besides the primary plot and dialog, and keeping up with what is happening.

Not everything is worth watching twenty times but anything good is at least worth two viewings. The very best media has layers that unfold each time you experience it.
