Ability to ignore/untrack specific seasons for a show
Add the ability to ignore or stop tracking a specific season or episode from Unwatched. This would be for cases where the show has standalone seasons you picked it up in a later season with no intention of going back. This way your unwatched episodes isn’t 200+.

I like this idea as well. Some kind of “Mark as Ignored” option at the episode or season level (essentially the opposite of Mark as Watched) would be very useful.
A clear example is American Horror Story, each season is a completely separate story. Many viewers intentionally skip seasons that don’t interest them but still want to follow the show and track future seasons.
Another example is Marvel's What If...?, where you might skip a few episodes you’re not interested in but still want to keep up with the series overall.
This comes up a lot with reality shows like MasterChef or Shark Tank, where users may ignore certain episodes or older seasons without wanting hundreds of unwatched episodes cluttering their stats.
Being able to ignore specific seasons or episodes would keep tracking clean and accurate without forcing users to drop the entire series.
As a bonus, it could be interesting if SIMKL added stats like:
- Total users who ignored/skipped a specific episode or season
- Community ignore metrics (with Visual indicators)
- Also adding a reason or note or comment - why they ignored it! -

Danny, no. Dropping a complete show will remove it from your watchlist. Whereas being able to 'ignore' specific seasons will allow you to track recent watched progress of a show without showing hundreds of unwatched episodes.

Isn't this already available by adding the show to the Dropped-list?

This would be nice, for example for the show Taskmaster, I will sometimes skip a season when I don't like the cast that much, because it's a game show and the 5 contestants switch out each season, so it's possible to not like one season much and skip the episodes, but still keep up with the show and want to track when new seasons come out.
