4. Errors that need remodeling

One of the most celebrated sitcoms of all time, Seinfeld is available exclusively only on SonyLIV. However, while moving to the next episode one misses out on an intrinsic post-credit sequence that Seinfeld has come to be known for. The 10-second post-credit scene, if not skipped, requires a tedious process to get back to the next episode. So much so for a binge-watch.

5. Learnings from other platforms

On Amazon Prime, when you hit pause, you get to see the cast along with trivia for the particular scene, making even a break from the show worthwhile. If SonyLIV could introduce its own version of a clickbait, so to speak, it would enhance viewers’ experience tremendously.
