Why does apple make it so difficult to change and or find a different episode of a series on Apple TV.

This should be very easy to find the first time without having to google this information. Create a witty little icon that appears in a corner when the mouse is hovering, click, select season, select episode.

Instead, I had to google "how to change episode", then a lot of helpful feedback from users saying this can be found on the "details" page. I thought great - ok now where is the details page. I see the three little dots however this does not provide a path to the details page, I see the play icon, the episode and season information however this isn't interactive - actually this would be the perfect place to allow a user to change.

replying to myself - I was attempting to change the episode from the "continue watching" location. Apparently this is very different than selecting it from another area. I still would love to be able to change the episode regardless of where I initiated the play. This is available in just about any other platform and used frequently by all in the household.

No need for others to respond however I would love to see Apple take note and make this small change.
