I really don't like the new TV app in Catalina.
Where do I start?
I did an erase and install... it was long overdue. Cleaned everything out. I then dragged all of my media back.
Many of my television shows and movies no longer displayed as "watched". Okay, no problem, I took the time to manually mark each accordingly.
The "watched" setting doesn't stick.
I discovered that not only do I have to mark each "watched" but I also have to play each one... even if it's just for a fraction of a second. With close to two hundred to re-designate, I'm not looking forward to it.

Don't get me started on the TV app's artwork.
Movie and art horizontal instead of vertical? TV show art horizontal instead of square?
Okay, I guess I can take the time to download new artwork, too. With close to five hundred movies it'll take a while but hey... I'm trying to go with the flow.
However, Apple TV still displays movie artwork as vertical. View your movies in a playlist and they're square.
What?
How many teams worked on this? Did they talk to each other?
Oh...
View your "Unwatched" media on the Apple TV and the artwork is cut off at the bottom, especially movie artwork.
And why, in the TV app, are my TV, Home Video, and Movie genres mixed together?
Why do I have to press Command-Shift-F to search my own library?
