PSA: I watched 12 episodes of a show at 2x speed and barely remembered any of it
So last month I binged a whole 12 episode season in one night using 2x speed because I had a stack of other shows waiting. Next day a buddy asked me what I thought of the big fight in episode 9 and I literally could not tell him a single thing that happened. I went back and watched it normal speed and it was actually way better than I remembered, which says a lot since I basically didn't remember it. Turns out speed running a show just to check it off my list is a waste of my own time. Anyone else ever done this and had to rewatch the whole thing to actually get it?
Been there myself, binged a whole season of some crime show at 1.5 speed and couldn't tell you who the killer was by the end. The thing is, if a show is worth watching at all, it's worth watching at the pace it was made, otherwise you're just staring at moving pictures. Good on you for going back and giving it a real shot.
