TV Time and Place

I’m watching a show on Netflix that is filled with flashbacks and lots of different locations. It’s a spy thriller that originally ran on TV. It’s very annoying that every time they go to a new location or a new time there’s a title card saying where and when it is. The show follows several interconnected story arcs, so it is pretty obvious where and when the events are taking place. The title cards would be helpful the first time in each episode, but after that they are not necessary. This kind of dumbing down the narrative insults viewers and is not necessary.
