Three series set in 1997, 1994 and 1988, sharing a format and two actors playing different parents each time. An anthology, so any order works, with one reason to prefer release order.

Where to start with Reply

These are three separate stories with three separate casts, so there is no wrong order and nothing is spoiled. Two orders are worth knowing about. Release order is the only one in which the cameos land, because each series contains a small appearance by the one before it. Starting with Reply 1988 is the popular alternative, because it is the one almost everybody names as the best, and the cost is that two scenes lose their point. Do not watch them in order of the years in the titles: 1988 last is release order, and 1988 first is the quality argument, but 1988, 1994, 1997 is neither.

    Sixteen episodes, and the smallest of the three. Start here for release order.

    Twenty one episodes, and it contains the Reply 1997 cameo, which only works if you have seen it.

    Twenty episodes, the one most people mean when they recommend the series, and it carries a cameo from Reply 1994. Also the usual answer if you only watch one.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below: tick anything off in either place.

Everything you tick is saved in this browser and nowhere else. An account is the only way to put your list on another device, and the only way to get it back if this browser clears its storage. It is free and it takes an email address and a password.

Sign in on your phone, your laptop, anything, and the same list is there, kept in step as you tick. Nothing to copy, nothing to remember.

All three are about this franchise and all three are for showing, not moving. The link and the picture open SagaList with that progress displayed next to whatever the person opening it has already ticked. The code is what a friend pastes into Compare below. None of them writes anything into anybody's list.

Read only. This never changes what you have saved, and nothing leaves your browser. The code has to be their code for this same franchise: codes do not carry a name, so one from somewhere else may not be recognised as wrong.
