Watchlist--am I doing it wrong or is it basically useless?

by Phaedrusnyc

After the latest update my Android TV tried to sell me on the Watchlist function. I was excited because I thought it might be a more utilitarian replacement for ReelGood and JustWatch (or at least a functional version of Watch Next, which I have never gotten to work). But after spending some time adding stuff to it I'm seeing that the row on the Discover screen holds, I think, 50 shows with no way of reordering and no way of getting to the shows beyond 50 that have been added. Is there no way of actually seeing the full Watchlist? And why does every tutorial I read insist there's a button called "Watched It" that I cant find anywhere on Discover? Easily half the things it's recommending are things I've already seen or that I'm caught up on and that button sure seems like it would be useful.

It's not you. The feature is crap. Strange how Google builds quantum computers but a watch later list is a challenge.

Try long pressing dpad center on the show. Does it show the "watched it" option?

You can also manage the watchlist from the mobile app, Google TV or Google Play Movies & TV, depending on which country you are in

I don't know about Android TV but on Google TV it shows "watched it" when viewing a movie or show along with options for how to watch it.
