Finally started watching shows at 1.25x speed and it changed my backlog game

Honestly, I was drowning in about 14 shows on my list and couldn't get through anything. A buddy of mine from Charlotte kept telling me to try watching at 1.25x speed, and I thought he was nuts at first. But last month I gave it a shot with a slow-burn drama and it just clicked. You don't miss any dialogue, but it cuts like 20 minutes off every 3 episode stretch, so I can knock out two seasons in a work week. Now I'm flying through stuff I'd been ignoring for months, and I even bumped one show to 1.5x when the pacing dragged. Anyone else do this or feel like it ruins the vibe of certain shows?

My buddy tried that with a comedy and said the jokes felt weirdly rushed, so he stopped.
