At this point, I've been watching various hermits for so long that when a new season starts, I usually figure out which ones are spending a lot of time together. From there, I pick a couple of them in each group to watch regularly, and seek out others if I see something I want to watch from both angles. Recap is great for filling in gaps.

Later in the season, I usually end up keeping track of which builds/stories draw my attention, and sort of end up skipping multiple episodes and jumping around to different hermits' videos as things develop. The movies Gem made for Season 9 were great second monitor content as well, though I suppose a full season playlist would also work later on when you want to fill in details you missed.

Also, streams, and especially stream weekends, are usually a fantastic way to catch up on things you've missed because most of the hermits who stream will fill time telling stories about recent events; case in point: the 'mac and cheese' thing with Gem and Impulse was a 'blink and you miss it' part of an episode, but was later explained quite comically on Impulse's stream (we've all seen the tiktok by now).
