Q: Apple TV - 4th Gen Netflix App Genres

I just bought the 4th generation Apple TV to replace my old Apple TV. I primarily use the Netflix app and noticed that on the new Apple TV you cannot filter by genres when searching on Netflix like you used to be able to on the old apple TV's Netflix app. Has anyone else noticed this? It is very frustrating to use when compared to the old Apple TV app as in the old apple tv's netflix app you could select a genre category and view all the movies in it. However, in the new apple tv's netflix app a few movies are displays for all the genres and you have to scroll up and down to get to your genre.

 

Has anyone found a work around for this or have any news on whether Netflix will be updating their app UI in the near future to fix this? If not, I'm planning on returning this apple tv.

Apple TV, 4th gen

    Seems to be a lack of a formal feedback channel from what I can tell but you can probably start a chat session and ask that way.

    Just replaced 3rd generation Apple tv with 4th generation and the Netflix app feels like a really bad downgrade. Not only are genres gone, but half the screen is taken up by a picture leaving basically one row of like 5 movies in view. Way to much scrolling. I know you can use siri to find a movie by title. But most often I find movies just by browsing. Apple should just replace Netflix app with their own. Apples was good. I liked Apple TV 3 consistent interface between apps. Seems like this is no longer going to be the case.
