Pro tip: Stop skipping the ending credits on prestige dramas

I noticed last month while rewatching 'The Leftovers' that people always jump to skip the credits. But the music and subtle visual details in the outro actually tie the whole episode together. I timed it once and the credits run about 90 seconds max. Has anyone else caught a key clue or emotional beat they missed by clicking 'next episode' too fast?

Honestly, my buddy Dave binged 'Dark' and skipped every single credit. He missed a whole subplot that only made sense in the finales outro montage. Had to rewatch the whole season to catch what was right in front of him.

Used to skip them all the time. Thought they were just names nobody cares about. But you're totally right about The Leftovers. That show specifically has those weird credits with the piano and the slow fade on the landscape shots. Caught a detail in season 2 that explained something from two episodes earlier. Felt stupid for missing it the first time. Now I just let them play out while I process what happened. Small price for the full experience.
