How To Restart A Series On Netflix 2022

Okay, let's talk about something serious. Netflix. And restarting a series. It's harder than it should be, right?
The Netflix Struggle: A Comedy of Errors
You're ready to dive back into that show. You know the one. Maybe it's Stranger Things. Maybe it's something a little…guiltier.
But then BAM! Netflix thinks you're still in the middle of episode three. From, like, six months ago.

This isn't just frustrating. It's a personal attack! Don't they know I have better things to do than manually skip through episodes?
My Unpopular Opinion
Here's the thing: I think we need a "Nuke It From Orbit" button. A big, red, shiny button labeled "PRETEND I NEVER SAW THIS SHOW." Wouldn't that be glorious?
Instead, we're stuck with…workarounds. The kinds that feel like you're hacking into the Pentagon.

I swear, I spend more time fiddling with my profile settings than actually watching the show.
Operation: Series Reset
So, how do we actually pull this off? Let's break it down. It's not pretty, but it's necessary.
First, the "Continue Watching" row. The bane of my existence! It taunts me with shows I abandoned ages ago.
Netflix lets you remove titles from this row. But it's like whack-a-mole. They just pop back up!

Digging Deeper: Profile Settings
Now we're getting into the serious stuff. You have to go into your account settings. Prepare for a deep dive!
Find your profile. Then, find "Viewing Activity." It sounds so official, doesn't it?
Here, you'll see every single thing you've ever watched on Netflix. Every late-night binge. Every embarrassing reality show. They know everything!
You can individually delete each episode. Yes, each. individual. episode. Good luck with that, if you're restarting Grey's Anatomy.

This is where that "Nuke It From Orbit" button would really come in handy. Just saying.
The Nuclear Option (Sort Of)
Okay, so maybe you're committed. You're ready to wipe the slate clean. There's one more trick.
Create a new profile. I know, I know. It feels drastic. But sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Think of it as a fresh start. A new you. A you who hasn't abandoned countless TV shows halfway through.

The Future of Binging
Seriously though, Netflix, please hear our cries. Give us an easier way to restart our shows. We're begging you!
Maybe a simple "Reset Series" button? Or, you know, that "Nuke It From Orbit" button. I'm still not over that idea.
Until then, we'll keep fighting the good fight. One deleted episode at a time. Wish us luck!
And remember, you're not alone in this struggle. We're all just trying to watch TV in peace.
