Turkish TV series have been operating on this exact "second screen" logic for decades. They are massive global exports specifically because their 140-minute episodes rely heavily on meaningful stares, flashbacks, and circular dialogue.

They are designed for people ironing or cooking; you can leave the room for twenty minutes and miss absolutely nothing.

Personally, I can't bear them, the constant spoon-feeding is torture if you are actually paying attention, but Netflix is effectively just adopting this proven, low-attention retention strategy.

Damn, this explains Brazilian and Indian soap operas so well too!
