Glad rational minds finally listened and the Up Next issue is fixed but here’s another related issue for the powers that be to consider if they decide to bring this ill-conceived idea back later
Some shows air at a regular time on a network and the date/time on the episode reflect that info for scheduling purposes. Those episodes sometimes get released early - sometimes in the morning on the day it airs in its regular time slot and others when they post the whole season at once as a binge for streaming. Had one of these cases last night where an episode I had already marked as watched showed up in Up Next when its regular time slot airing happened. This never happened previously. Hope that makes sense and is a test case you cover next time.
