Too many recaps and scene spoilers throughout

Well done except for the made-for-TV, commercial ready breaks that allow way too many recaps. This series' runtime could easily be cut down by a third or more. They show key moments of future stories before even getting to them. So you know you know the punchline before telling the joke, so to speak. That is frustrating. They really have a lot of substance and production value to be proud of. Too bad they make the viewer out to be a forgetful fool.
