Everything from the Boys, to Marvel shows, to Lower Decks waste so much time every episode recapping what happened previously. We’re watching these shows on demand. If we needed a recap we simply watch parts of the last episode. Binging shows is so normal it’s a meme now.
Do the people making these shows seriously think there’s a possibility of network syndication or something? As if we’ll eventually go back to the network model?
What do you think?
If they need a recap for the viewers to remember what’s going on then it’s bad storytelling.
The fight you’re looking for is one you need to have with yourself.
Or possibly the viewers have more going on in their lives than focusing on one TV show.
Not bad, just extended. If you’re watching season 3 and there’s a throwback to season 1, it’s good to have that reminder.
Oh yeah, because everyone will obviously remember what a guy mentioned off hand on a random episode 5 years ago.
I agree that a “previously on” for what happened the previous episode is bullshit, but that’s almost never the case.
