> Avoid seeing episode counts if at all possible

I don't understand. How would knowing how many episodes there are have an impact on the show? (And the number of episodes seems just... fine?)

Rot-13 explanation:

My understanding was that if you know you're on the last episode then you'll expect things to be resolved or something like that. Similarly, you probably don't expect any twists on the second episode.

I've not heard of the series so I can't comment on it specifically but that was my take on their warning.
