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

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
