Netflix Experimenting With A Random Episode Button

Hey Netflix, how about fixing all the currently broken features like "popular on Netflix" and "trending now." And, if you are going to promote a "random" feature, why not use that for MOVIES?!?! No one wants to drop into season 6, episode 9 of a show they've never watched before. Get it together Netflix

Spotted by one our tipsters, the Android app (specifically v7.6.0 build 19 34157) offered to randomly select something to watch. And in the playback controls, there's a shuffle icon with a "Random Episode" label. Interesting. I honestly couldn't see myself enjoying a random episode from a series, but hey, that's just me.
