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?

    Not everyone binges shows, and some release weekly, and in either case are following the pattern of recaps for those who didn’t just watch the previous episode before starting the current one.

    I’m just glad all of the ones I can think of have a skip recap button. Same for intros!
