On my iPhone SE (in Safari and Chrome) the Most Recent/Top Rated boxes on the episode list page are not displaying well. After the abbreviated plot outline there is a long empty space that I can swipe for a while until I get to the rating.

It seems like an error that even a standard plot outline cannot be displayed fully in the episode list, as seen in your own screenshot. The old desktop layout displays the full text, even if the only available text is a longer summary.

I don't like the new Episodes page, please change it back, the old one was much better.

I use the older layout, because the new layout is horrific and I feel bad for anyone who doesn't know about classic view. Today however the tv season pages are using the new layout. Only them though from what I can see. Has anyone else who uses classic view noticed this? Please tell me they aren't about to force the newer garbage layout onto us and this is just the first step in them doing it..

I have a problem with the new TV Episode List design. If the Series has no Episode Numbers but release Dates the Episodes are not sorted from earliest to latest. Instead they are all in a random order.

No we don't have to get used to anything. The users make or break this site at the end of the day. If the heads won't listen to the bulk of users and at the very least give us the choice of classic view we need to keep talking about it until they do the right thing. Because if we just let this slide it's only a matter of time before they remove classic view from ALL pages, not just the episode pages etc. And if they do that I won't be using the site anymore. I almost ditched it when they rolled the crap UI out years ago, but then I was ok when I saw classic view was still an available option.
I appreciate choice, but this is not a choice anymore. And I have a feeling if we let them get away with this, then this design is going to be forced site wide. This is just them dipping their toes in the water seeing how much they can get away with in my opinion. People need to keep making a stink about this. Also my episode pages are glitched now on top of it, some seasons are missing episodes that were showing up perfectly fine the other day in classic view.
Stop taking away our beautiful classic view IMDB! You're wasting time and money paying design teams for things users didn't even ask for. There is nothing wrong with having the same UI, stop feeling like you need to change for the sake of just making a change. These poor decisions are going to kill the site, not make it newer and more relevant. PC users don't want a damn mobile app on their webpage. We like concise to the point info that doesn't take up unnecessary space and force us to click more than before for the exact same info.

Argghh!!! This is horrible!
For one, the links no longer link to my browser history (changing the colour of the link), so it makes it harder to see if I've visited the page before (which I use to remind me if I've watched a program).
To get around this, I suspect I'm going to have to vote for each title. This will be a generic 5 for all episode pages I visit (I've never had an interest in rating individual episodes). This of course makes a mockery of the voting system, but what else can I do? Perhaps a 1 rating would be better.

You have added to the name page the display of the rating and your vote, if it exists. This is the great update. It will be just fine if these things will be displayed on the search results pages and on the Awards pages.

I'd like to report a bug:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2269658/episodes/?season=1
lists 18 episodes from 2012 but...
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2269658/episodes/?year=2012
lists no episode at all

The new episode list system keeps spoiling everything for me with all the pictures and lists, I loved how I could go to Episode Guide and block the bottom part with my hand and check the score of the episodes I've already watched.

Since the episodes page has been redesigned, I've noticed a few inconsistencies whether we list the episodes by year or by season.
For example:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2269658/episodes/?season=1
lists 18 episodes from 2012 but...
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2269658/episodes/?year=2012
lists no episode at all

Here's another weird case:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366104/episodes/?year=1990
1) you can't list by season, only by year or by top-rated.
2) the 1990 year tab contains no episode at all, so why is it even displayed?
3) the episode S1.E1 is shown as the top-rated episode but it's not listed in any year tab.
It seems that your redesign has introduced lots of corruptions. I've already found 2, there has to be many more.
