are these shows supposed to be watched like this?
If you mean simultaneously like this at all: Yes. They are occurring in the same universe at roughly the same time, and they often touch on each others plots.
If you mean with all these adjustments to airing order: It's more of a convenience to not have to constantly switch between the two while still making sure events happen in the proper order when applicable.
