Watched a repeat on TV maybe and was critical (8)
I believe the answer is:
reviewed
'tv maybe and was critical' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'watched a repeat on' is the wordplay.
'watched' becomes 'viewed' (viewing is a kind of watching).
'a repeat' becomes 're' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'viewed' put after 're' is 'REVIEWED'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for reviewed that I've seen before include "having given in one's notice" , "critically assessed" , "Had second thoughts" , "Critiqued" , "evaluated?" .)
