Whoever works on Apple TV/Roku/Firestick/Google TV/Samsung: I can’t easily tell whether content will take only 2 hours of my time (a movie) or over 2 months of my time (a TV series) until I select the thing or read tiny copy that says it’s a TV show. Why?

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.

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.

I went through six rounds of interviews including putting together a 30 minute presentation which I presented to the whole team. The whole process took about six weeks. I turned down another lead position at a different company waiting. After all that they told me that hiring for this role was on hold until further notice. At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?
