How it works:

  1. Install the extension.
  2. Click on any TV show. Next to "Episodes" you should see a "Random Episode" button.
  3. If you're in the middle of playing an episode, you'll se a new button in the bottom right corner of the screen. It should look like two twin arrows. Click it, and you can switch to a random episode from there too.
