New TV series ratings view is unusable

Hello, Team, 
I'm an avid user of IMDB. But since yesterday you made the site pretty unusable for me. 
Like most people, I use the site for ratings and recommendations. 
One particular usecase for me was rating the individual episodes of the series, so that I can tell where I stopped. 
With the new season view I can no longer do that, because I neither see my own rating, nor the picture relating to the episode. 
One might say that this is the mobile view, but unfortunately it looks the same for desktop. 
What was the goal? You don't want people's ratings? You don't want traffic to your site? 
This is very disappointing for me.

@Alexa13  We have not changed the design of the title/episodes page, sorry.  

Try visiting https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898266/episodes?season=1 or start at https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898266/ and click the "Episode guide" link and all should be fine.

It looks like you may have navigated to the old m.imdb.com view of the page which has been in the design you screen-grabbed since the mobile site launched early in the 2010s.  Perhaps you followed a link to IMDb from another site or a search engine which is incorrectly pointing here

If you did follow a link directly on IMDb, please can you let us know which path led you to that view and we will take a look. 

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your reply. I'm figuring what actually happened.

I use Samsung browser on my phone, so this is where I got the change first.

After your reply I decided to check on my phone in Google Chrome. The mobile view was the same, but with the "desktop view" check-box I could get me what I wanted. 

Then I saw an update that came for Chrome. After I updated, I could no longer force the desktop view. They both looked the same as a simple list, without my ratings visible.

I can still get the normal useful view from my actual laptop (all the latest browser updates installed) - see the attached screenshot.

It seems like the latest browser updates are messing with the view.
