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

I think this is a perfect idea for a Youtube channel. Maybe in Alt Shift X's style. Just go through popular shows (ongoing or finished) and recap the big ongoing plot lines, characters, relationships, etc. One at the end of each season, maybe even one at the end of the series just for the sake of completion.

I saw a recap like this for the show Dark and, well, I was still lost through most of it, but it's a good idea. That show's a bad example.

When getting back into a show with a large break, we usually try and find a video(s) recapping the previous stuff by Man of Recaps. They're usually the right length, hit important points, and are an easy watch.
