I really think microsoft has made some really bad apps. Metro has so much potential but its implementation has just seemed so second rate. So i had a play with Xbox Video (specifically the tv show stuff) to see if i could come up with anything interesting. Btw im no designer so i used good ol MS paint.

Here is how it looks today

clicking a season brings up

Here is my idea (note that since i was using paint i couldnt do any fancy stuff like turn the white to grey)

Ive changed the banner into a proper large background style image. Moved the seasons so that there is less empty space everywhere and changed how a seasons episodes are displayed. I feel its a big improvement.
