The Сontinue Watching list lists movies, TV shows, and other TV programs you started watching but didn’t finish. When you return to the service, these programs appear on the Continue Watching list so that you can easily return to them and continue watching. However, it may happen that the “Continue Watching” list becomes too long or contains programs that you no longer want to watch. In that case, knowing how to clear this list is helpful.

Does clearing the Continue Watching list affect Netflix recommendations?

Yes, clearing the Continue Watch list can affect Netflix recommendations. When you remove a movie or TV show from your Continue Watch list, Netflix will no longer consider that content when making recommendations.

Netflix recommendations are generated based on sophisticated machine learning algorithms considering many factors, such as viewing history, ratings and reviews, genres and topics, and other users’ views. To better understand your preferences, Netflix considers the ratings and reviews you’ve left for movies and TV shows.

However, even if you remove all movies and TV shows from your “Continue Watching” list, it doesn’t mean that Netflix will stop recommending similar content to you in the future. Most likely, you will only see such shows because machine learning algorithms will still consider your ratings, genres, and topics to recommend new content to you.
