Well done. My team built this at Disney six years ago when we were trying to solve content discovery problems. The problem with endless carousels of thumbnails is that it really doesn't draw you in. Sometimes you just need to drop people into content like it's channel surfing.

Netflix tried something similar a few years ago, but in my opinion it missed a critical ingredient, which was dropping people into the middle of content at a compelling point.

Really like the execution here. YouTube take note.

TikToks has a bunch of channels playing juicy clips from random movies and shows. always have to pop into hashtag or comments to find out what. Maybe they got axe, I don't see them in my feed anymore, but more than a few times I wished there was one click to keep watching optinos. There's always short form video that gets people side tracked, why not side track into an episode of a show.
