Unless I’m getting a Postmates notification suggesting I order another $25 worth of McDonald’s at 2 a.m. on a Friday night, I don’t typically like being reminded of past mistakes. That’s where Netflix‘s new user experience feature comes in handy.
On Tuesday, the streaming service announced via Twitter that subscribers could now remove shows and movies from their “Continue Watching” queues. Just navigate to the three dot icon below a title — where you’d typically get episode info or provide feedback to your recommendations algorithm — and select “Remove From Row.” Click confirm when asked if you’re sure, and it’s gone! Forever!
PSA: You can now remove a film or series from the Continue Watching row.

At present, the feature is only supported on mobile, but any changes made are reflected when your account is accessed from other devices. That means you can get rid of that show you didn’t like (or the show you really do like, but don’t want your account sharers to know about) from anywhere.
So long, episode of 100% Hotter I only watched to make a point. I knew you well.
