Yes, I love it so much! As I mentioned I watched through the first season a few times now, and that means a lot coming from me, since I don't watch TV that often. I was introduced to it through a film class I decided to take on a whim, where we watched the first few episodes. I immediately went and finished the rest of the season after class! It centers around a small town where people start mysteriously coming back from the dead like nothing happened, and it follows the characters as their family and friends try and figure out why and how this is happening. And my personal favorite part is all the plot twists that show how the zombies, or les revenants ("the returned"), rather, all interacted together in their past lives. Every episode has some mind blowing twist that just keeps you wanting more!
I know the first season was on Netflix last time I checked, I hope it still is. They took the second season down before I could get around to watching it, unfortunately. I definitely need to get to it soon!
Edit: Boo, it looks like it was finally taken off Netflix! But I should also warn that if you decide to watch it, make sure you're watching the French show, not the American. They tried making an American version and I haven't seen it, but it apparently sucks compared to the original and it didn't even make it to the second season, lol.

I wish I would have watched The Sixth Sense before I inadvertently found out the ending before watching the movie.
Edit: I also have never finished the final season of SoA because I was like, I just KNOW how this is gonna play out...
I also wish I could watch Game of Thrones for the first time but it's so weird how it just abruptly ended right after the best episode of the entire series, S8 E2 A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and they just never even finished the rest of the show. SO weird.

I'm with @(you need an account to see links) - ATLA and Korra (I love Korra, pls dont @ me) for sure! Also on my list are:
The Witcher - I know that people either loved it or hated it, but I honestly enjoyed this dumb show so much.
Lost - But only within the very specific cultural zeitgeist that it first aired in, where literally every person you knew spent the entire week coming up with theories, and then IMMEDIATELY after it aired you would go and discuss said theories and yell more, new theories based on the information provided in that week's episode. It was a cool, dumb, weird show and I stopped watching after they left the island only to watch the finale and I loved it.

I think about this question all the time lol
Live action show:
- Babylon 5, hands down. B5 is my favorite scifi series of any medium ever, also best character development I've seen of any series ever, any genre. It suffers from the era in which it was released, too soon for decent CGI, too old to have relied more on practical effects. But damn, that aside...I still get chills just thinking about scenes of the show I've watched over and over. B5 is about a space station built in an attempt to promote peace among the humans and the other alien races. The biggest story arcs are 1) an intergalactic war breaking out among alien races that sweeps everyone into the conflict and 2) Earth government's own increasingly insidious movement toward extreme corruption totalitarianism. There is so much world-building and lore involved. Character development: Amazing. I will die on the hill that G'kar is the greatest scifi character ever. I'd love to be able to watch it again from scratch without knowing where it's going to go.
Anime:
- Probably Attack on Titan or Yona of the Dawn. The twists and turns in AoT are unbelievable. And Yona was just such a joy to watch, it'd be great to experience it new again. It was episode three of Yona when I realized that it really was something special, the childhood flashback episode, specifically the scene where Hak is pouting that Yona compared him to Soo-Won and Yona shows up with all the fruit to bribe him into being friends again. If I could only pick one part of Yona to see fresh though it'd be the Blue Dragon arc. That might be my favorite arc of any anime, at least until/unless Noragami ever gets a third season and is able to start getting to the REALLY good parts of the manga.
Movies:
- the first How to Train Your Dragon. A friend and I went to see it in theater just because we like animated movies but had zero expectations of it actually being good. It blew me away. There's just so much heart to it, and it's one of the only movies I can think of where the 3D feels like it enhances the experiences instead of being gimmicky. Some of those flight scenes gave me that stomach-drop roller coaster feel. I've watched it a million times since and still enjoy it, but I'd kill to be able to see it again fresh.
- Fury Road. I saw Fury Road three times in theater when it was first released and have seen it probably three more times since (my local theater screens lots of stuff that isn't just new release). Fury Road was dumbfounding the first time I saw it. I love it every time I see it, but nothing was like that first screening where everything just keeps escalating and escalating and you have no idea when it's going to end.

Ohhh I agree on the Sixth Sense, I found out way before I saw it, really enjoyed the movie though! Oh goodness I stopped at season 5 of GoT, I couldn't finish it Dx

ATLA and Korra were amazing, I wasn't a fan of season 2 of Korra, but enjoyed the rest of the seasons Lost was insane, I remember watching it on TV while it was still airing, ngl I didn't get what was going on in some episodes but enjoyed it a lot!

I loved HTTYD, the 3D visuals are beautiful. I watched a few episodes of AONT which was also great! My favourite anime has got to be Bleach and Blue Exorcist though
*that's rough buddy*
I agree with everything that's been listed so far, and would like to add Travelers to the list. The characters/actors are phenomenal! The story!!! The ending, despite the show being cancelled!!! I wish more people knew about this show, it deserves a lot more recognition. Suggestion: Don't read anything about the plot or premise. Just start watching it to get the full mind-blowing experience as it all unfolds. I dare you to not binge this.

Hmmm. Probably Game Of Thrones, then rewatch it only 'til season 6 before they messed everything up in seasons 7 and 8. Queen Daenerys for the win!!!!
