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?

    Murder She Wrote was made with old people as the target demographic and old people have terrible memories. I imagine this greatly cuts down on the “Who is that person?” “Where is she driving to?” “When are they going to catch the killer?” type questions one generally hears when watching an episode of anything for the first time with their elderly parents.
