The “Watch Next” section is the first thing you see when you open your favorite streaming service, and it often has a helpful list of series you want to keep streaming … but it can also be filled with shows, that you gave up or shows you have completed but still appear because you did not complete enough credits.
It can be quite annoying. Fortunately, you can fix your “Next Watch” section for every major streaming service out there.
