I might be very lucky that I didn’t join Google before the summer as I’m not stressed about potential layoffs… but on the other hand i do feel unlucky to finally fulfill my dream and make it through the recruitment process, only to get stuck in the team-matching stage. And then the freeze.. how long can people stay on the list until they get hired? Or does your place on the list ever expire?Google

Skeuomorphic solution:
A movie title should be shown tall (portrait), like classic movie poster dimensions.
A TV show should be horizontal (landscape) with a roughly 4:3 ratio and much more rounded corners (i.e. like a CRT tube).
Modern solution:
A TV show’s artwork should be a “stack” that implies several other episode posters under it, and a notification circle at the top corner with info indicating that it has seasons (e.g. “S1–5”)
Or if it is a SERIALIZED show where the episodes aren’t self-contained, it could have the hours of all the seasons combined at the bottom. (e.g. 62 hours, 37 minutes).
Right now everything looks the same and the only way I can tell if something is a movie is if I recognize it via marketing.
Like I thought this was Slow Horses: the Movie but it’s really Slow Horses: the TV Series because there’s absolutely zero design affordance on what kind if media it is.
All of the ui/ux is subpar. The whole experience sucks
Is this on a specific app? I have a Roku, but I usually go into individual apps to watch certain shows. I’m just trying to figure out where you’re seeing that.
I can’t think of an app where I can’t see if it’s labeled a movie or a TV series. Is it some weird setting on your specific device?
Apple TV’s app for its own channel.
But also all the others have a problem with very little distinction. The poster shape, size and art style are all identical. You have to look for tiny, very small clues or simply know of the title ahead of time.
