Every tv show should come with an option to explain who everyone is, what they previously did, and what happened in the past, in case you forgot. Because I always forget.

If some bloke walks into the scene and the main character suddenly looks unhappy, I want to be able to click a button and it says 'this is Bob, the main character's ex-husband, who had an affair in s01e03. As a direct result of this, the main character was in a car crash which led to the death of a harmless old lady and a secret crack addiction.'

@RolloTreadway I really feel it’s far too much when they expect us to remember these things from one season to the next. A year has passed!

@RolloTreadway Ooh, like the old Ceefax, but instead of pushing the red button, maybe the blue one instead!

@RolloTreadway Yes!!!

Web comics, too. (Some authors provide this in the comments, glory upon them.)

@RolloTreadway Audio description usually names everybody, if that helps. Some people find that the naming alone is enough to fill in the other gaps. @KaraLG84

@patrickhadfield @RolloTreadway Tool tips IRL. Maybe Google Glass would have been helpful for something.

@RolloTreadway I'm the same. I started episode 2 of for all Mankind and already forgot who one of the characters is.

@RolloTreadway Yes! I am often annoyed by recaps, "Oh I remember all that!" but as soon as someone refers to an absent character by name, I am lost.
