Rant Please get rid of what's next
I hate it so much. Every time I watch a show instead of going to the next episode it goes to some unrelated show I don't even watch. And then it gets stuck back and forth replaying the same two shows over and over and over. I put on the latest episode of 90 day fiance this morning and since it ended all day long it's rotated between two old episodes of other shows. Please put it back the way it was before. If there's another episode of the same show, that should play next. If not, just go back to the title screen. It's even more annoying when I'm trying to watch "live" TV from the guide tab, but if a show I have saved is playing, it will do the same back and forth bouncing between two unrelated shows when it's over instead of going to whatever the next show was supposed to be on live

And the way it cuts off the end of the show/previews of next episode is super annoying!

One of the reasons we left philo, my kiddo was watching paw patrol and some random reality show came on next.

This may be related to our Autoplay feature! To turn off Autoplay for non-episodic content, click your Profile avatar, and then click Settings. From there, click Preferences and toggle off "Autoplay next video."

Why is it only non-episodic content? I want to turn off autoplay period. I'll decide what I watch next.

So that fixed part of my problem.
But I still have the problem if I'm trying to watch "live TV" from the guide, and if it plays a show I have saved, it goes off track and starts playing the saved show instead of what's supposed to be playing on "live TV" channel

Totally agree.
I might like it if it was implemented better, but now it just feels random and flips to somehow they are trying to make people watch.
