This probably isn't a hugely common use case but one I have experienced more than once.

Basically, sometimes I will see later episodes of a show for various reasons – it's on cable, I watch it with someone at their place, etc. – and afterwards start from the beginning. However, until I reach the point of the later episode – which could be half a dozen seasons in – my "next episode" will continue to show something I won't get to for another month.

It's not a huge deal since I can of course just find the earlier episodes through the season list but it's definitely more inconvenient than just being able to click a button on the home page.

My proposal is to change the default behavior of (or add an option to change) the 'Up next' list so that the next episode is the one that comes after the user's most recently-watched episode.

For the average user who watches episodes sequentially or even skip episodes, nothing will change for them. For users like myself who occasionally watch episodes/seasons out of order, this will be a great QoL improvement. I cannot think of any drawbacks to this approach and it seems like it should be a simple query change.

I like to re-binge-watch shows from time to time, and the "reset progress" function is great to keep track. However, it could be slightly improved.

I just finished rewatching a show, and was surprised to see that episode 1x01 is back on my "Up next to watch" dashboard section. Also my progress page lists the show as 96% completed, not 100%.

What probably happened is that I marked the first episode as watched, and a couple of minutes later, used the "reset progress" option. Yup, my fault, I should have first reset the progress, and then mark the first episode as watched. Easy to fix too, just edit the watched date to a few minutes later.

Still... the system could be more tolerant to this kind of mistake. Why keep track of what I've rewatched since the moment I hit the "reset" button? Instead of, say... the same day? It would be as easy as to substract 1 on the query.

Another option would be to offer the users to reset their progress. So I'm a VIP user, I have already watched some episodes of a show, and I just marked the first episode as "watched right now"? Show a popup asking "Hey, are you rewatching this show? Would you like to reset your progress?". Maybe with an option to enable it from user settings, and disabled by default so it doesn't annoy anybody.

Lastly: everything on the site can be edited or deleted: ratings, watched dates, collected items, lists... everything except the "rewatching" status. An option to "un-reset progress" would be nice, especially in case anybody resets something by mistake. I can't believe such an option doesn't exist yet, maybe it does and I just can't find it?
