Plex does this, and they can contain different media types. I have a playlist that’s the full run of Twin Peaks (in release order, including the movie), and it should be possible to build your own for crossovers (eg: my “Millennium” playlist includes the series’ back door finale on The X-Files).

A special bonus: As a computer programmer, I appreciate how well-researched and crafted all of the hacking scenes are. Just about every other show with Hollywood hacking makes me cringe. It makes real hacking tense and exciting while still being realistic. The r/itsaunixsystem sub tries and fails to find anything at fault with the show.

There's an early S1 example where he's trying to figure out some guy's password, and tries a dictionary attack (running through a bunch of common passwords). It actually doesn't work, and realizes he should hunt for personal data on his Facebook account to get there. If it was some Hollywood show, he'd get the password in ten seconds and it would have some goofy GUI interface to tell him he "Hacked the Gibson" or some shit. The art of the craft is weaved into the story rather well.

The router S2 episode also comes to mind, but I won't say anything else because of spoilers.

Lois and Clark fired the first Jimmy Olsen because he looked too much like Clark Kent.

Like, wtf did you hire him?

Gotham fired Clare Foley because they wanted someone hot. So they made a thirteen year old into a 20 year old. This raises some sex problems. Gotham was such a bizarre show that it needs to be watched. Go watch it.
