Do you watch the episode recap ("previously on...")?

@evan
I feel like the options need to include a reference to one's age. Post-menopause I have gone from an 'almost never' to an 'almost always'And if it's been months or a year between seasons, we will often rewatch the entire previous season to feel up-to-date
@kims if it were a scientific survey instead of a Fediverse poll, it would probably include a few demographics questions!
-
@evan Always, but then we don't binge. We never watch more than 2 episodes at a time, and usually only a one or two evenings a week.
@timbray that's a healthy practice!

Sometimes? Depends on the complexity of the show and how long it's been since the last time I watched it

@evan Actually it dawns on me that it sounded kind of elitist. In fact, both of us feel headach-ey after a couple hours of video, and I watch live sports a couple nights a week and we both have music sessions on certain weeknights, so it's not out of disdain for TV. Currently watching Sandman Season 2.

@RobotDiver often is sometimes but usually yes; rarely is sometimes but usually no
-
@evan very highly dependent on when I last watched the show.

@evan I always watch the intros and outros, including the recaps. They set the rhythm for the show.

Thanks everyone. I like TV series with long story arcs, and I usually watch at most 2 episodes at a sitting. So the reminder is often helpful. It's also not uncommon for the recap to foreshadow events in the upcoming episode, for example by showing a side character who was introduced several episodes ago who is going to be important in this episode. Anyway, I am Often.
