What is the difference between Watching, Watched, and Watchlist for TV shows?

Watchlist means you plan to watch the show. Watching means you have started the show and have logged at least one episode. Watched (Full Series) means you have completed every released regular season of the series.

What happens when I mark an episode that is ahead of my current progress?

FlixNChill opens a Catch-Up modal asking if you want to mark all earlier episodes as watched too. You can choose 'Yes, Catch Up' to backfill previous episodes, or 'Just This One' to log only the clicked episode.

Can I mark an entire season as watched in one click?

Yes. Each season header features a 'Mark Season as Watched' button. Clicking it marks every episode in that season as completed and updates your progress immediately.

What happens when a new season airs for a show I previously completed?

When a new season airs, FlixNChill automatically shifts the series status from 'Watched' back to 'Watching', and your progress shows your last completed season so you know exactly where to resume.

Can I rate individual episodes or full seasons separately?

Yes. You can leave 5-star ratings and written reviews on individual episodes, entire seasons, or the overarching TV show itself.

Does Stremio automatically mark episodes as watched on FlixNChill?

No. The FlixNChill Stremio addon operates strictly as a read-only companion to protect your data integrity, streaks, and Taste DNA. It displays your current episode progress and 8 personalized catalogs on your TV, but never performs automated background writes. You can log episodes in one tap by scanning the Couch QR code displayed in the episode synopsis.

TV Series & Episode Progress Tracking

Understand how granular episode logging, season rollups, and smart status changes work on FlixNChill.

Smart Progress Rollups

No need to manually change status from Watchlist to Watching. FlixNChill manages your library states based on what you watch.

1. The Three Ways to Log TV Progress

Unlike movies which are either watched or unwatched, television tracking on FlixNChill gives you three flexible levels of granularity:

S1 E4

Individual Episode

Click the checkmark beside any individual episode in the season list. Ideal for weekly broadcast viewers or people pacing through a show.

Badge: S1 E4

Full Season

Use Mark Season as Watched on the season header. Automatically checks off all episodes in that season with a single click.

Badge: S1 Completed

All

Full Series

Click Mark as Watched on the show banner. Completes all released regular seasons and awards the Full Series completion badge.

Badge: Full Series

2. Smart Catch-Up Prompts

Ever started tracking a show on Season 3 without wanting to manually click 30 previous episodes? FlixNChill solves this with Smart Catch-Up:

How Smart Catch-Up Works

When you click an episode (for example, Season 2 Episode 5) while earlier episodes or seasons are still unlogged, FlixNChill automatically opens the Catch Up Prompt:

Yes, Catch Up

Instantly marks Season 1 as completed, plus Season 2 episodes 1 through 5.

Just This One

Logs only Season 2 Episode 5, leaving previous episodes unlogged for rewatches or standalone viewings.

3. Automated Library Status Lifecycle

Your show moves through your library automatically based on your viewing activity:

Watchlist (Plan to Watch)

Planning

Triggered when you bookmark a series or add it from Discover. No episodes are marked as watched yet.

Watching (In Progress)

Active

As soon as you log your first episode, FlixNChill automatically promotes the show from Watchlist to Watching. Your profile card displays your current progress (e.g. S2 E4).

Watched (Full Series)

Completed

When you complete every regular season, the show rolls up to Watched and awards the Full Series badge. If a brand-new season premieres in the future, the show automatically shifts back to Watching.

Dropped (Archive)

Archived

Decided to abandon a series? Marking it as Dropped archives the show from your active Watching feed and discovery recommendations, while still safely preserving the episodes you previously watched.

4. Episode & Season Ratings

You don't have to wait until a series finale to leave thoughts or scores:

Episode Reviews & Spoilers

Click the star or review icon on any episode to record a 1–5 star rating and written journal. Spoiler tags ensure your mutuals don't see twists until they've watched that episode too.

Season-Level Scores

Rate full seasons independently. Perfect for shows that had an exceptional debut season or varied quality between showrunners.

5. Frequently Asked Questions

Do Season 0 / Specials count toward Full Series completion?

No. Special episodes (interviews, behind-the-scenes, or Season 0) are tracked separately and do not block your "Full Series" completion badge.

If I accidentally uncheck an episode, does it delete my review?

No. Your ratings and written reviews are safely stored independently. Unchecking an episode simply removes the watch timestamp from your current active progress.

How do rewatches work for TV shows?

Each time you log an episode, FlixNChill records the date. If you rewatch an episode on a different date, that viewing is appended to your timeline history.

Does Stremio automatically update my TV progress on FlixNChill?

No. To protect your watch streaks, ratings, and Taste DNA recommendations from false playback logs, the FlixNChill Stremio addon is strictly read-only. It reflects your active TV progress (e.g., S2 E4) directly in your Stremio catalogs and synopsis overview, but never writes data to your account behind your back. To log an episode from the couch, scan the Couch QR code in the episode details to mark it watched in one tap on your phone.
