Why does Apple TV not allow a person to go back episodes? If I fall asleep during a series, any series, it will not allow me to go back any episodes.

Any TV series I am watching will not allow you to go back and rewatch any episode you want. You have to start at the begining and who cares if you missed any episodes because you fell asleep. to bad so sad you do not get tot watch the at all.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

On what device and model is this happening?


  1. You may navigate to a show’s Details page by selecting the show anywhere but Up Next. You will find all episodes listed there.
  2. Or: You may navigate to a show’s Details page through Up Next with a special action, to suppress starting the listed episode immediately. How that is done, differs a bit by device (and may change in details over time). On the Apple TV box, on smart TVs, and on third party streaming devices, you can click-and-hold the tile in Up Next until a contextual menu pops up, then select Go to Show. On Mac TV app, see (1). On iPhone and iPad, click (⋯) below the episode tile in Up Next, then select Go to show. On the web, click (⋯) on the episode tile in Up Next, then select View Details [for that specific episode], then click the link for the show name in the upper left corner.
