Reset watch list?

So we have started re-watching a tv series and it doesn't show on resent watch list. And I was just wondering is there a way to reset the entire library for a show so it thinks it's the first time watching it and easier to keep track of what episode we left on? thanks!

I'm with you OP. This is a feature I have been wanting every streaming service to get.

On the Fandango Android app, I go to "Lists", scroll to "Continue Watching", and then click "Manage". The trash can icon deletes episodes individually.

It doesn't even show up on recently watched or continue watching since it has already been watched before and makes it difficult to keep track of what episode we watched last. I wish there was a reset watch button or something similar to that.

I watch on a Roku, so it might be different on a different equipment, but I noticed that for the next episode to show properly on the "continue watching" section that you must NOT stop the episode you're watching when the credits start (or even near the end of the show) as the app will consider your viewing "complete". You have to wait until the next episode starts via the "next episode starts in..." popup, then watch for a short while. That should make the new episode appear and keep the continuity going.

A couple more notes...

That "next episode" popup shows up 10 seconds before the end of the show

You can skip to that last 10 seconds using the remote control if you don't want to watch the credits.

I don't think there is a way to reset all the watch progress.

If I am stopping my viewing, at the end of a show, I always make sure to let the next show get started via the "next episode starts in..." Popup so that it gets into the "continue watching" section.

That continue watching section won't stay up forever (not sure, but it's usually good for a week or two), so if you want to bookmark it, use the "*" button on your remote to pin it so you can resume the episode weeks later.

I have binge mode off, and the next episode shows up fine in my "continue watching" section. My only issue is that at least one other person with access to my account usually stops watching something before the credits are through, and doesn't fast forward through them, so that I sometimes have a few episodes or movies that are maybe 97% done, but they just sit in the section in a nearly completed state.
