My friend lost it over a two-second delay then scrolled Instagram for hours.

A full week rework is rough, I feel that. Your new system is smart, but I have to say it doesn't always fix the core problem. Sometimes the original deadline is just too crazy from the start, and no amount of personal review time can catch everything. You still need someone else to look at it with fresh eyes eventually. Building in your own check is a great first step, but it shouldn't be the only safety net.

Character growth in shows like Breaking Bad needs that slow start to feel real. Without seeing Walter's boring life first, his later choices wouldn't hit as hard. Sticking with early episodes makes the whole show better.
