Spoiler-safe titles on a shared screen
A laptop on the couch should not advertise the finale name in 60-point type. Use a poster and a season number when someone in the room is behind.
nextepisode can keep lists without a public activity firehose. You still have to sit the screen away from the person on last week’s episode.
Catch-up is a household problem
Watch order versus air date already bites anime and returning dramas. Add a second person and titles become spoilers.
Paused, dropped, and Up Next shelves should be boring to glance at. That is a feature.
Notifications are for returns, not recaps
A return date is useful. An episode title in a banner on the TV is how you ruin a limited series.
Frequently asked questions

What about Discover rails?
Trending rows spoil less than “because you finished X” with a sequel title. Be careful what you put on the TV.
