In a move aimed squarely at the time-strapped and attention-deficient, Netflix announced the rollout of its new "Skip Entire Series" button — a feature designed for users who want the satisfaction of completion without the burden of actual viewing. Once pressed, the app automatically marks every episode as watched and sends the user a cheerful email reading, "Congrats! You finished Season 3 of The Diplomat!"

"We know our users are busy," explained Netflix Product Manager Kelsey Tran. "They've got meetings, kids, emotional fatigue, and at least seven other streaming subscriptions. Sometimes you just want to feel culturally caught up without having to sit through 10 hours of plot twists and subtle character arcs."

The feature includes several customization options, including the ability to receive a brief AI-generated summary of the show ("the characters struggled, learned something, and kissed at the end") and an optional "Discuss at Brunch" mode that provides three vague talking points for social situations.

Early adopters have praised the feature's efficiency. "It's honestly liberating," said one user. "I finished The Crown in under five seconds. I feel smarter already." Meanwhile, critics warn that the innovation could lead to "content FOMO fatigue," though most agree that no one has actually finished a full series since 2018 anyway.
