Old unwatched episodes are now on deck when you are up to date on watching

Since a recent update, when you have watched the latest episode in a series, instead of it disappearing from ‘On Deck’ until the next episode is released, it will show the next episode to watch as the oldest unwatched episode of that show in the library.
So if, like me, you’ve got old Saturday Night Live episodes that you don’t really want to watch, these keep getting put on Deck despite not being the next episode to be watched.

Any comments of people experiencing similar issues or any workaround that don’t involve marking all old episodes as watched would be much appreciated.
