I'm not open-sourcing this - you can build it yourself!

In the before times, when I solved a problem like this, I’d open-source the code. Now I’m not sure there’s much point. There’s a prompt at the end so you can scratch your own itch. I was at a loose end the other day and thought to myself, I wouldn’t mind rewatching a series I watched a while back on Prime. The problem with this seemingly simple task is that Prime has stored the fact that I’ve watched every episode. Even worse, it’s stored the point where I stopped watching each episode - which is invariably at the start of the closing titles. I wanted to start from the beginning, but it insisted on starting where I’d “left off”. The obvious fix is to reset the watch status on the series. Should be simple… There’s no UI to do this in the Prime app. You have to do it on the web. And when you do, you end up using something aggressively user-unfriendly. Whoever was asked to develop it was evidently told “make this as difficult to use as possible - we want people to give up”. You can see…
