Navigation
On most devices, you can browse through rows of TV shows and movies, including a row dedicated to your My List selections. Each row represents a category (for example,
comedies, dramas, TV shows) that we show you based on what you’ve watched. Older devices may not have rows of categories, but do allow you to scroll through My List, which you can
