Mark Watched for entire season

I found this thread about marking a show watched, did the feature mentioned disappear or am I just blind:

... 5 minutes later ...

The UI here is REALLY confusing, the weird chevron only appears on hover and doesn't really invite to click itself. Also the functionality is in the tooltip and clicking doesn't provide a dropdown like a chevron would suggest. (Managed to mark 90% of Under the Dome as watched by accidentally clicking the thingie)

- The chevron should be visible all the time

- Have the functionality be in a dropdown or similar structure so one accidental click in a mysterious appering chevron doesn't do stuff

- Group the show watchlist into tables by season

I didn't have any trouble with it to be honest and it works fine for me, but yeah it might be a bit better shown :)

It does WORK, finding it is just a bit of a hassle.

Also the magic chevron column appears ONLY when viewing through the watchlist, if you go from show -> episode list, one still needs to click every episode manually. Why?

If you .are in the episode list of that series, you can click on the text 'watched' and you will be redirected to that same page too.

Show > Episode List > Watched

That's even less intuitive than the disappearing chevron, clicking on a table header 99% of the time sorts the table by that column.

Once again, the functionality is there and completely obvious when you know where to look for it, but really unintuitive to find.

Is there a reason why the magic chevron doesn't exist on the show page?
It's a quite basic beginner use-case:

1) find shows I follow, open their pages in tabs

2) set my seen marker where I am on the show

Now part 2 requires me to click through to the episode list, then click to the watched page and then scroll to the bottom of the page and click the magic chevron.

This could all be just one click on a "I've seen all of this" -button =) Or at the very least clicking through to the ep list and clicking on the season tables to mark the seen ones. (plust the "seen all of it"-button at the top/bottom)

Sure this system needs some better adjustments, I definitely agree with you on that.

I wouldn't mind the option to skip an episode, or all remaining episodes, so I can get rid of the remaining eps on shows I've given up on from my watchlist.

It's funny you mention that Pending Feature. We know the UI for bulk marking can be improved and we plan to do so once we start work on that feature. Might be in the forseeable future if these votes keep up. :)
