My biggest gripe with streaming services is their inability to just sit with the emotions at the end of an episode or movie while the credits roll. Every time it will throw the video into the corner and start advertising the next thing to consume.

Game of Thrones did this well. I remember the end of the Hodor episode, where they gave the viewer time to process. If memory serves, they ran the credits w silence, as we stated in disbelief.
Let your audience sit and process for a bit. Apple TV with Severance is one of the worst for this. Every episode is so emotionally charged and when it end you get 3 seconds to sit with it before it’s like “NOW WATCH THIS THING! DON’T FEEL, ONLY CONSUME!”

God help you if you're too engrossed in what just happened to hit that "watch credits" button which is different on EVERY SINGLE ONE.
