Would you suggest watching Japanese reality shows without subtitles when starting to learn to help train the ear, even if at first you have no idea what is being discussed sometimes?

I am picking my Japanese language learning journey back up now that my baby isn't requiring so much of my time, and I was thinking about how babies pick up language by simply listening to those around them and implying meaning from context. I was wondering if in addition to studying the materials in my wheelhouse, Genki, WaniKani, Bunpro, and Anki, if this sort of immersion study is encouraged or is there merit to watching Japanese shows with subtitles? For the record, I am not really into anime and I think anime is too dramatic/stylized to learn proper Japanese (I might be wrong). I have enjoyed watching reality shows like Terrace House and comedies like Legal High and Full-Time Wife Escapist.
