Consensus seems to be disliking this change, but curious if there are other perspectives

    I would like to have some kind of “recap” episode for me to stream before heading into the new season. If there are years between seasons, I won’t remember everything from prior seasons, but I might not want to rewatch 5 seasons before heading into the new one. And yeah, you don’t need 12h to tell a good story. Many TV shows are giving you too much filler

      The recaps they do are usually a few minutes at best.

      I once saw a season premiere of “Cheers.” Sam and Diane had broken up at the end of the last season, and they had Cliff do a voice over explanation of what had happened. It was hilarious and informative.

      Since we’re talking about streaming services anyway, they could do a long [10 minutes] recap with a lot of information and offer it separately from the rest of the season
