I don't know, I'd say something. Something like, "Hey, you know the other day when I recommended [series] to you? I was a little taken aback by your negative reaction. What was that about?"

Then listen carefully to her response.

"Okay. Well, the reason why I recommended it was because you've recced so many things to me that I took a chance on and ended up liking it even though it didn't really interest me initially. I thought I'd do the same, because we're friends."

Then see what she says. Honestly, keeping quiet may seem like the easier solution right now, but unless you're 100% sure you can get over this and not feel resentful or upset, it's better to civilly, calmly clear the air.

And in the future, maybe avoid even joking "in a playful forceful manner" about what other people "must" see.

If OP's friend is anything like my friend who does the same thing, if I laid that line on her she'd spew some self-serving bullshit and find some way to blame the whole thing on me, and try to make me feel like a bad person despite the fact that I thought sharing recs meant we were friends.

Well, that's not a nice answer, but it's a useful one - both you and the OP should maybe reassess why (and how) this person is your "friend" and question if maybe you're not better off without them.

I wouldn't call someone that did that to me a 'friend'. Or anyone I'd even want to spend time with.
