I went to look up an actor to see what episode of a show she was in, and the site no longer lists episodes under actor’s credits, just the show itself.
For example, I give you Camille Chen. What episode of the 20 seasons of L&O was she in? Who knows?
Why did they do this? It’s like a gigantic step backwards. It’s far worse than when they wanted to remove actresses’ birthdays.
It’s like they don’t want to be useful anymore, except as a place to stick movie ads. Content matters! It’s not just the stuff between commercials!
That’s crazy. I loved the old format - this new one is nearly useless. By googling the character name “Emma Kim” and “Law and Order” I was able to find that the episode she was in was “Just a Girl in the World” "Law & Order" Just a Girl in the World (TV Episode 2009) - IMDb but that was not as easy as it should be (and used to be).
You go into the “Show By” drop down box to get into the individual episodes (I did it through “Year” and then clicked “TV Episodes”). I imagine they did this because most people don’t care about which individual episode an actor was in.
Just because Farouk is awful doesn’t mean that David isn’t also awful. I’m not interested in faffing around about how one character is better because another character is even more horrible.
If this show tries to redeem David’s (essentially) mind-rape of Syd, I’m fucking done with it. I’m mildly interested in seeing how the saga of two awful antagonists and their somewhat inept victims plays out, though. They’ve clearly signaled that David isn’t a hero, even though he’s up against Farouk the villain.
I don’t know if it makes any difference, but I am always logged into IMDb. I joined about 20 years ago I think, and as far as I can tell I see the page format differently to people not logged in.
This isn’t IMDb Pro, btw, which is something else, where they charge a fee and you see contact details and more, which is specifically set up for Industry folk.
It appears to have been just a short-lived display. I was worried somehow the tablet version of imdb had taken over. I can’t even use the site on a tablet, it’s formatted so poorly.
Does anybody remember that brief period of time IMDB required a credit card number just to verify you were older than 18 to post on their forums or submit reviews?
