Kotaku: Unfortunately, Quantum Break looks a bit rubbish

While an interesting idea, it seems out of place in Quantum Break. The programme seems to interrupt the game rather than thread into it. In Max Payne and Alan Wake, television series were part of the world and informed the fiction but they didn’t insist on taking up 20 minutes of your time. You could walk by the television screening episodes of Lords and Ladies and Captain Baseball Bat Boy in Max Payne. In Quantum Break you have to just put the controller down and watch. This guy is trolling and he knows who he is aiming with this article. Plus, he is ill informed about the game.

I do not understand what you're talking about here.  Most consumers are going to be afraid to skip cut-scenes the first time they play because they don't want to miss anything potentially important.  It's perfectly valid to assume that as a common mindset and judge the entirety of the game, even if you can skip some of it.  If the television portion is part of the package, and it's obviously presented that way, then it's open to criticism.

If consumers are afraid to skip cutscenes, then what's the problem here? We're talking about forcing people to watch cutscenes, which doesn't happen in QB.

Did I say QB is immune to criticism? It looks like this article is getting supplied with bullet proof vests by some reactions here instead.
