Apple TV, Plex 2.18 (15388)

I’m not exactly sure what you’re trying to get to.
When you click on an entry from your tv library, it’ll bring up the respective pre-play screen:

  • if you clicked on a show, it’ll bring your to the overview tab of that page (or whatever tab you had last selected).
  • if you clicked on a season, it’ll bring you to the 1st unplayed episode of that season
  • if you clicked on an episode, it’ll bring you to that episode

The “specials” or “seasons” section is the tabs how you navigate between show/season/episodes (replacing the old layout where you were drilling down through all levels.

If you want to directly play an episode… select it and click the play button on your remote.
The media detail pages have been updated with version 2.17
