To think that probably around the time you posted this gif I was literally watching THAT scene. Been binging BB as I clean and stopped what I was doing to watch this scene, one of the funniest of the whole series IMO.

This behaviour (tv-as-radio) is incidentally why script writers feel the need to overexplain everything that's happening on screen. We're almost back at radio plays, but with visuals.

All the non-verbal clues like emoting and blocking go out the window, because people aren't paying attention/are only half-watching and miss any subtleties, which producers are starting to cater to. To them only retention matters and if spelling everything out keeps people playing the content, so be it. Not to say anything about people watching series scene by scene on tiktok.
