I would not be complaining if key features were not removed. There is NOTHING about sortable lists that is incompatible with the interface. In fact they've kept sortable lists in other parts of the website, just not the instant viewing. There is nothing about Plain Text Titles or Ratings at a Glance that are incompatible with the new interface. Again they've kept those features in other parts of the website. In fact there is nothing that they removed that would interfere at all with the new interface. They seemed to have removed these features for no particular reason at all. This isn't a small change. This isn't a gripe about how poor the scrolling is or that my screen doesn't show more than four box covers at a time. These are legitimate arguments that need to be addressed because they speak to how the website is used, how the library is searched, and to the ease of navigation in general.

Plain Text Titles - REMOVED
Ratings at a glance - REMOVED
Sortable lists - REMOVED
Show Rated/Seen Titles - REMOVED

The removal of these features was extraordinarily short sighted. In the case of Plain Text Titles for instance artificial labels (eg. "New Episodes") that overlap cover titles now have no backup unless you mouse over the image. Ratings at a glace may have only been a minor feature but now the linger time on the main page is exorbitant as you seek public opinion on a potential title. Sortable lists speak for themselves; it boggles the mind why Netflix would remove such a central feature to a movie library with thousands of titles. The Show Rated/Seen Titles feature is a feature that I personally liked but of course it worked specifically with the Sortable lists which are now gone. Oddly the Show Rated/Seen Titles feature is still available on the Starz Play page specifically. Why? I don't know. It's totally useless with this new interface.

Changing the interface isn't the real issue here. The real issue is why any company would remove KEY features that are popular and that many people rely on. It's like replacing my Cadillac with a Yugo and telling me that they both are fully functioning cars and that the Yugo is easier to drive. That may be so, but I still want air conditioning. I still want XM radio, I still want my in-dash navigation. Feel free to make the car look and feel anyway you like. But give me the OPTIONS at least to drive the car the way I want to drive it and that works best for me.
