Depending on your client it can be inconsistent - for web it’ll depend a bit on if you’re using your local hosted web or the app.plex.tv web. It’ll either be marked as watched… or marked as unwatched… but there isn’t a specific watched AND unwatched marker. But it will be consistent in that regard.
Edit: local and Plex Web are the same now it seems… I hadn’t looked in awhile. So Plex Web should always be “marked as watched” for TV shows.
Here’s example episodes from a partially watched show for me:
Green checkboxes are watched.
Season Level example (almost done with final season):
10 episodes left on the last season.
Personally - I like the watched mark on episodes but don’t like the “watched” on the show or season level poster (though the unwatched counter is good for me). I’d like it to be “empty” to mean it’s watched. Just personal preference. TV shows I think it does make more sense for the watched and counter to work the way it does for the most part, it’s more the movies side I wish went back to the old way of “unwatched” meant there was a marker; or give us an option to flip the logic or turn it off entirely because I like clean posters in my library and I’ve watched most of my library.
Edit: Just noticed on my Roku today that there’s ANOTHER change… it’s white checkmarks next to episode numbers now:
It seems like the transparency is higher though? Could be anecdotal for me but more transparency is better.
And on the Season display there’s no “watched” marker (again on Roku which hasn’t really been keeping up with the changes so might still be “old way”):
Which for me is the “right direction” for my preferences.
And lastly, at the show level there’s watched markers (again on Roku it’s been mostly the “old way” during these updates):
I swap between web, Roku and iOS clients so I don’t always remember which ones do things which way since it’s been inconsistent, but I prefer the current Roku way of handling watched\unwatched for TV Shows as my preference over the web-view anyways.
And agree with others that consistency would be nice.
Edit2: My triangles and episode count squares are pink because of the particular theme I picked on Roku (not sure how common an option it is).
Edit 3: Roku Preview update for 9.20.8 which I am on includes text about the watched icons; I forgot to mention I was on Plex Preview. I do like the white icons on the more transparent background in this change for episode markers.
