How To Restart A Series On Hbo Max
Ever Feel Like You're Trapped in a Binge-Watching Time Loop?
We've all been there. You're cruising through a show on HBO Max, totally engrossed in the drama, comedy, or questionable reality TV. Then, BAM! Life happens.
Suddenly, weeks (or let's be honest, months) have passed, and you can't remember where you left off in "Succession". Did Shiv finally betray Kendall? Did Cousin Greg accidentally shred more vital documents? The horror!
The Dreaded "Continue Watching" Conundrum
You revisit HBO Max, hoping for a miracle. There it is: the dreaded "Continue Watching" section.
Must Read
But wait, it's mocking you! It's offering to restart you from Episode 1. Oh, the shame! Don't you know I was on Season 3, Episode 6?!
Fear Not, Fellow Binge-Watchers! There's a Solution!
There's a slightly hidden, almost magical way to reset your progress. It's not exactly intuitive, but that's what makes it an adventure, right?
Your Mission, Should You Choose to Accept It: The Profile Maneuver
First, find your profile icon. It's probably a picture of you looking your best (or maybe a default letter if you haven't bothered to personalize it). Click on it.
Now, look for "Manage Profiles." Click that sucker! You're getting closer to reclaiming your binge-watching destiny.
The Eraser of Errors: Edit Profile Time
See the pencil icon on your profile? That's your ticket to freedom. Select it and get ready to make some changes.
Here's where the magic happens: Find the "Continue Watching" option and click on the "X" for each episode. Erasing episodes gives you a fresh start!
Alternatively, Dive into the Episode List
This is the manual route, but good for if you only want to restart from a certain point in a show. Find that show's page and select the season/episode you want to start again.
Click "Play" to mark it as your current episode. You may want to delete other previously watched episodes in "Continue Watching" as well!
Embrace the Fresh Start!
Congratulations! You've successfully wiped the slate clean. You can now restart that series without the guilt of skipping ahead or the frustration of rewatching things you've already seen.
Think of it as a digital spa day for your viewing habits. You're refreshed, rejuvenated, and ready to dive back into the world of "The White Lotus" or obsess over the latest true crime docuseries.
A Word of Caution (and a Dash of Humor)
Be careful what you wish for! Resetting your progress can be addictive. You might find yourself impulsively restarting shows just for the thrill of rediscovering them.
Just remember, with great power comes great responsibility. Use your newfound knowledge wisely. And maybe, just maybe, keep a little notebook handy to track your progress next time. Happy binging!
So, go forth and conquer your HBO Max queue, one perfectly timed restart at a time!
