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?

    A lot of times they re-cap the bits from previous episodes that are relevant to the one you’re about to watch. They aren’t random flashbacks.

      Yeah. They always show that old character that you forgot about in the “previously on” right before his surprise comeback.
