Hi,

When iTunes was around, i used to go to my library , select a particular tv series, if i wanted to buy a new season, i would right click , select "open store" and select a season.

With the TV app , i cant figure out a way to get from my library to the store, directly to the tv series. I might be missing something, but the only way i can get there is to go to the store, search for the tv series, and go from there.

On top of that , when purchasing a season , there is no confirmation that the purchase happened, i just click on the "buy" and it just sits there, doing nothing, but the season does actually purchase.

this all might just be because i am still trying to get used to this new one, but i cant figure out a few things in it.

one last thing im trying to figure out, how to show just the unwatched episodes (downloaded or not) in the season, in iTunes, you just selected "unwatched" and it showed all unwatched episodes, so i could easily download the next unwatched episode. Cant figure that out either.


Any help would be appreciated.
 
The new TV app is not very good. As usual, Apple seems to have stripped out a lot of functionality and introduced a whole host of bugs. However, you will likely notice that when buying/downloading media, an icon indicating "something" is happening will appear near the middle/top of the TV app window.

Personally, I found the TV app so lackluster that it forced me to revert to Mojave. TV app has no clear indication of what has been viewed/unwatched, the artwork is the wrong shape/format. When used to serve to AppleTV it does not render episode thumbnails, episodes do not increment after viewing, etc. etc.
