Empty state illustrations

If the to watch list is empty, we show an illustration and a button to encourage the user to add media to the list.
When no lists have yet been created by the user, we show an empty state illustration.

UX (User Experience) Improvements

User Experience (UX) design enhances user satisfaction and drives customer loyalty, leading to increased retention and positive word-of-mouth. Because of this we have improved in many aspects.

Now, clicking in the whole trailer card, and not just the image, redirects to the corespondent media page.
