Small But Frustrating Issues Navigating To Episodes

Hi, so after using Trakt for 10 years, I quit using it after the V3 update. After months of not finding anything else that was any better for my needs, I decided to give in and come back a few days ago. I have been working on adding the things I've watched in that time, but I'm struggling with parts of the new interface.

My main complaint is that clicking on an episode in my history doesn't take me to that episode, it takes me to the page for the whole series. This makes manually logging my past watch history much more tedious, if every time I need to go back to that show I have to go to the main show page before I can navigate to that season then that episode. In the previous UI you could click on the episode name to be taken to the page for it, or the show name to be taken to the page for the whole show. Lacking the navigation to the episode itself has been very frustrating. I also really miss the arrows to let me go directly back/forward an episode.

Similarly, on the show page, finding episodes takes a bit more effort than it used to. Instead of just clicking on the season then the episode, I find that from the main show page I have to click "Seasons", then click on the dropdown, scroll to the season and click it, then scroll to find the episode because anything past episode 7 doesn't show unless you actually click on "Seasons >". This is a fairly small issue I guess, but it does add time that I didn't used to have to spend just to log something as watched. EDIT: I found on the mobile site that there is a hidden scroll bar and I can actually scroll through without clicking on "Seasons >". On desktop however, there is no scroll bar and it only shows up to episode 7.

Am I missing something and there's an easier way to navigate these things? If that's the case, please let me know. If not, I really hope things get back to being a bit more streamlined in the future.
