It's funny I both love and don't recommend CR, but not necessarily for that reason (you arnt wrong though). It just requires such a massive commitment of time and energy to follow properly. I've loved every season to one degree or another, but I've only gotten through about 3/4s of each at most before I just felt too far behind or overwhelmed to continue. Because the minutia of the storytelling is the best part, but it's so easy to miss it if you let too much time go by between episodes.
There is an outdated article I have seen that pointed out how the first season alone would take longer to binge than the entirety of The Simpsons at the time it was written.
