All the AI you need for this is an input box:

  Wait [  ] months before recommending again a show
  I already watched.

Alas, giving users control is anathema to this industry.

as I said >yeah some movies might be more likely to be rewatchable quicker by a larger amount of the population,

>Wait [ ] months before recommending again a show I already watched.

does not handle that scenario, furthermore I am perhaps more pessimistic about user self knowledge than you are. I would probably make that box some high number but I am a sucker for rewatching some movies very often.
