WATCH NEXT, SORTED FOR REAL Your shows ordered by what you're actually bingeing. One tap checks off the next episode. Almost-finished shows float up so you finally close them out. TRACK THE WAY YOU THINK • Episode-level check-ins, whole-season one-tap marking • Specials tracked separately — they never skew your progress • Progress bars, +N badges, next-episode air-date countdowns
