Movies and TV Shows are divided into different categories so that users can pick what they want to see. Netflix has a useful feature named as “Continue Watching” list appeared on the homepage. Now, what this feature is about?
The moment you start streaming TV shows, and Movies on the Netflix, whatever you watch get listed to the Continue Watching list and start appearing on the homepage of the Netflix site. The purpose of the adding Continue Watching list is to remind users that what they start watching is still not finished and if users want they can continue watching the unfinished shows just by making a single click.
