blue box upper right corner on apple TV while streaming - temporarily appears then goes away. help please!

how do i turn off a blue box that appears with some general info briefly during streams on apple tv? anyone else see this? it happens about once or twice during a show. it says something like series type, drama, comedy, etc. it's on for just a few seconds and then goes away. i've gone thru all accessibility settings and turned off anything remotely that could relate. Its happened during disney plus shows and apple tv+ shows so far. I think netflix too.

I haven’t seen what you describe. It may be specific to your setup.

Apple notifications are white/gray (not blue), with rounded corners and Apple typography. Verify if the overlay may come from a different device (TV perhaps?), although I have no clue how other devices would know about genre of the content.
