I would enjoy a feature akin to old-school “channel surfing.” Let me flip through the entire library, mid-program, so I can see if something new catches my interest. No algorithm, no needing to search for something specific, just a chance to try out a few minutes of a show when it’s in the midst of its progress the way we used to be able to do. Then if we like what we find, we can switch to watching the show/movie from the start.
Yeah, it could expose spoilers, or be confusing with continuity, but any good show is worth watching more than once. Jumping straight into a show/movie in progress also eliminates the “analysis paralysis” I sometimes get when forced to pick a show from a menu. It’s far easier to give a new show a try when I can casually jump in and out of it.
I think Pluto.tv does this
Ooh, yeah you're right! Thank you
