When I was a younger man, I really enjoyed Rick Veitch’s horrifying satirical (?) comic, ‘Bratpack.’ It was dark and brutal and hit all the right notes for me, ending with the perfectly nihilistic ending that so many grimdark 90s joints wish that they could pull off. I loved it, but I never want to see it again. It’s just TOO much, featuring takedowns not only of the Batman and Superman archetypes, but comic book creators, eras and even W*lt D*sney himself. I would recommend it to anyone who shares my predelictions, but like ‘Schindler’s List’, I don’t think I’m ever gonna want to experience it again, leading to today’s semi-traumatic query…
The MS-QOTD (pronounced, as always, “misquoted”) is almost certainly never going to watch ‘The Day After’ again, though I am glad that I saw it the first time, asking: What pop culture that you absolutely loved do you NEVER want to see again?

One time of Grave of the Fireflies is enough.
Torchwood: Children of Earth was incredible, but it will be a long time into dementia before I forget how devastating it is and watch it again.
Similarly, the first series of Broadchurch.
