Netflix Now Lets Everyone Remove Content From 'Continue Watching'

pcmag.com:

Life's too short to let rejected content clutter your Netflix page, so we were happy to discover the streaming service decided to let everyone remove TV shows and movies from the "Continue Watching" queue.

First introduced in the summer of 2020 for mobile users, the oft-requested feature makes it easy to delete rejected programs and focus on the series and films you actually want to continue watching. Previously, Android and iOS users could tap the three dots next to any title and choose "Remove From Row."

Now, the function is available via the web (where users could previously only hide titles from their viewing history) and directly on your TV; simply click on a program and select "Remove from Continue Watching." Change your mind and click the back-arrow button to undo the move. (Or just search for the title and pick up where you left off.)

"Whether you're deleting a new pick you're not feeling, an old favorite you've rewatched too many times, or Marie Kondo-ing your whole row, this new button lets you constantly keep your 'Continue Watching' row fresh and filled with the shows and movies you can't wait to watch," Christine Doig-Cardet, director of Netflix product innovation, wrote in a blog announcement.

We are now hopeful Netflix turns its attention to the next little annoyance we all have to put up with: the inability to remove suggested content from the platform's recommended rows. I've seen Mamma Mia! seven times, Netflix! I don't need it recommended to me again.
