counterpoint: the closeups are meant to be seen as simultaneous, it's a sort of psuedo slo-mo so you can see each character's reaction in a fast situation.

Precisely, the grammar of cinema is not 1:1 with real life.

That said, I don’t mind making light of it for meme chuckles.

They have a lot of time to fill in these episodes so I don't blame them. I like the scenes just for atmosphere, but making fun of them is so easy.

I see a potential here for the long-winded reaction scenes from Indian soap operas. At least then the viewer clearly understands that it's not meant to be real time.
