Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When browsing, movies and shows aren't very clearly labeled, sometimes making it hard to tell what type of media an unfamiliar item is, or in cases where there are shows and movies of the same name, which one is which

Describe the solution you'd like
A label, icon, etc of some sort when on the page for a given piece of media would help a lot.

It would also be very nice to have an icon on the thumbnail or next to the title when on the search, home, or saved pages, if there's a good way to place it there. Each item is fairly space constrained, so putting it over the thumbnail would cover some of the art, and next to the title would limit the space title. Next to the publish date would be nice if the icon can still be well aligned while being big enough to not post an accessibility/legibility issue

Describe alternatives you've considered
Currently the only reasonable way to check is to go to the page for a piece of media and find the run time to see if it's clearly a movie, or look for a first episode listed. But often times I'll open the app after a good while of not using it, and intuitively look for a label or icon of some sort to tell me if something is a show, and then try to find the little run time number amongst the details, or remember that episodes should also be listed if it's a show and scroll down to see if there are any.

Not usually a big deal, but it's a bit of friction that doesn't really need to be there

Additional context

Image
In this case, adventure time has two items simply titled "adventure time" and both show a run time of 10-15 minutes. But this one doesn't have a listed episode. If you tap on an entry like this and haven't seen episodes listed before, or just forgot, it's really unclear what type of media this is. I'm actually still not sure even without it having episodes, is the shown runtime for like a trailer or something? I assume that's the case with the show, and it's like a pilot or a trailer or something. But sometimes the run time is unhelpful, and you have to know that episodes should be listed to make an educated guess as to what's what.

Thanks for the lovely app, I really enjoy using it ☺️
