User level: Level 1 (4 points)I watched "Shrinking" on apple tv during my free trial, now I've paid for a one year subscription, but I can't continue watching because the tab "continue watching" has disappeared. The movie appears to be added to playlist, but I can't watch him because I don't hace any tab for continuing watching

Since Shrinking is still showing in your Watchlist, I’d first open the show from there and select the episode you want. You don’t need the Continue Watching row to play it.
If Continue Watching has disappeared entirely, check Settings > Apps > TV and make sure Use Play History is turned on. Apple says that setting is used for Continue Watching and personalized recommendations.
Also make sure you’re signed in to the same Apple Account you used during the free trial.
If the show opens but doesn’t give you a Play button even though your Apple TV subscription is active, that would point to a subscription/account issue rather than the missing Continue Watching row.
