It's always been weird watching US shows in the UK, as we've never had the same frequency of ad-breaks in shows that the US has.Sounds a bit like NBC's short fifth act for hour-long dramas. I don't know if they're still doing this, but they were like two minutes long and shows clearly struggled with what to do in that time before roll credits.
The result is some really odd and jarring cuts and edits that you know were for ad-breaks, it's even worse when its on a channel or platform that has zero ads.
I guess those in the US must find this re-watching some older shows on ad-free streaming services.
