I agree with you for the most part; I just wanted to be generous and open to the idea even if it's usually just obligatory sensationalism (and often violent).
I'm just mentioning it because it would be interesting to see directors try to explore it in a way that actually works in series. The best examples I can think of are usually like teen coming of age stories or identity-discovery (a lot of gay shows) but usually it's a cut away after a lusty scene of ripping clothes off.
Few things are more tiresome or tacky to me in mainline entertainment (where it isn't even the "prestige" obsession with SV) than the old "faces mash while thumping against wall" sudden jump cut, whether in the movie/show itself or in its formulaic trailer.
