My Fire TV has updated itself to the latest Netflix Layout.

 

Personally, I hate it.

 

Old layout:

 

 

'My List' in the new layout no longer shows the list in a grid format. The list has to be scrolled right (and left to go back). Note: This happens on the old layout if you access 'My List' from the 'Home' screen.

 

But what I can no longer find are:

 

New & popular

 

...

 

Worth the wait

 

Coming next week

 

Coming this week

 

...

 

Running Netflix in a Windows 10 Edge Browser still shows the old layout.

 

Anyone found the missing (to me) sections listed above? Otherwise, how do you set 'Reminders'?

Same(Nvidia Shield TV Pro) & it's awful, oversize jumbo thumbnails that gobble up the screen resulting in many more clicks just to navigate shows/gatergories.

Prime started out down this road. I do believe they stepped back from that.

In the last week (or more) the 'New & Popular' category now shows the 3 missing sections i.e.

 

New & popular

 

...

 

Worth the wait

 

Coming next week

 

Coming this week

 

...

 

Consequently, reminders can now be set (as they could previously).

 

Also 'My List' in the new layout now shows the list in a grid format.

I don't think it matters anymore (see my previous post).

 

Nevertheless, I did look and found that there are several sections which show version numbers under 'Get Help' > 'Device'. So, without taking a picture from my phone of the whole lot and posting it, I didn't bother.
