Those are actually becoming an artform of their own. The best ones subtly hint at the areas of focus in the upcoming episode and get your mind tee’d up.
As I mentioned in another comment, it just binged through a show called line of duty, and the ones they did were very, very good, especially as the seasons went on. In season six, they started by recapping certain elements from season one, and did that clever “wink“ to hinted what might soon be to come. It didn’t spoil anything, because the “thing“ happened pretty early on in the first episode. Each episode after that showed them again, but progressing through a bit more into each season before it addressed what happened in the previous episode.
Everything that happens in every season finally culminates in season six, so they put it together pretty well.
With streaming/binging being the norm, I tend to skip those. I most likely just watched those scenes, unlike watching actual television where a week has passed since I watched it.
For the basic ones, yeah, but for some shows on streaming, you see previouslys that address stuff that happened several seasons back if it happens to be relevant for that particular episode.
I just finished watching line of duty, and some of the previouslys brought stuff up from a few episodes back or even a few seasons back. As another commenter mentioned, some shows do it better than others.
The good shows will have a “last time on X “at the beginning of each episode, aka “The Previouslys”
And at the end of that recap christopher judge will announce: “and now the conclusion”
I’m also excited about Stargate coming back

And the worst outright spoil twists for you.
I wonder who the mystery villain could be - maybe the character with a grudge from two seasons ago that the “previously on” chose to remind us about?
I just try not to pay attention to them.
