Hi, thanks for reaching out!
You are correct, we removed the option to add episodes and seasons to lists in the new update.
May I ask how did you use that feature so I can pass that feedback to the developers?
Very simple. I watched 8 seasons of a show. In a few months, the 9th season should come. So comes this season 9, and only this one, in my watchlist. Or I have a single season of an anthology series to watch in the future, then exactly this one will be on the watchlist. This is an absolutely important basic function for me and many others. I don’t understand at all how I get the idea that the users don’t need this.
If you watched 8 seasons of a show, once the new season releases, it will show up in your “Continue Watching” section automatically. That season doesn’t need to be in a list for that to happen.
If you want to watch an anthology series, you can add the show to your watchlist and, once the season releases, you can start watching it from that season. The “Continue Watching” section will understand that you skipped the other seasons and once you finish that season, it won’t show the other seasons for you to watch, unless you decide to watch them.
Your watchlist should be used for shows and movies you plan to watch and still haven’t started, not for shows you are already watching.
That’s why I ask how users use that feature. As far as what you told me, it seems you don’t need the seasons in your lists to do what you want.
.. This allowed me to easily create chronological ordering of shows/movies/episodes.. Thank god it still exists on old trakt still and I hope to everything that V3 is never going to be force enabled for all users and be the only option… This is such an ungodly regression just like everything else with V3.
I don’t put episodes in lists but do put seasons in them. Specifically I have a Best of list for each year and add the season of a show that aired in a given year that I think was one of the best. For 1 season shows I could add the series to that list. However, for series with multiple seasons I like to add the season so I can easily tell which season number it was.
