I guess you have a point.

But let me try another counter: how much more enjoyable were the big scenes in Game of Thrones? I think you know the ones I am talking about.

I still enjoy rewatching Breaking Bad but the shock and recognition of watching these shows the first time is superior.

Yup, you're right. It does add something for sure. I guess the further away a show/movie strays from common tropes the more important is the value of not knowing what will happen.
