Just give me a random episode of a low stakes sitcom. Seinfeld, SVU, whatever. My other wishlist item was that Netflix would offer a “shuffle” this series option. For standalone episodic shows, ordering does not matter, and it is a bunch of overhead to pick something.

Netflix offered this in France back in 2020[0], but appeared to have removed it in 2022[1].

I didn't realize how much I would appreciate shuffle until i started using jellyfin.

I use it all the time for shows that have self-contained episodes (e.g. Futurama).
