Bug: Series pages of personal media don’t load. E.g, I have a “season” of home movies that display perfectly in the current app, with poster art and fan art. In the new app, the popover page slides up, loads for 2-3 seconds, then sits at the blank, black popover page. This doesn’t happen with TV shows with TVDB listings, so shows like The Simpsons appear as they should.
UI: Too much of a show’s homepage is dedicated to uninteractable artwork. E.g., I’m looking at Poirot, and the first interactable object (the review stars) is 2/3 down the page. The first object that sees regular use (the Watch button) is fully 3/4 down the page. On my iPhone 14 Pro, all the seasons are hidden until I scroll.
UX: Horizontally scrolling lineups are a bad experience.
Show seasons and episodes should be vertical lists, or at least be an option.
On a keyboard, fingers each handle a vertical column, and on keyboards with multiple thumb keys, the thumb also travels vertically to itself (which appears horizontal since it’s on its side). Phone app and photo libraries are nearly exclusively displayed the width of the screen and scroll vertically for a reason.
