So, fun story: I go to the hidive homepage and it has a "continue watching" section where I see something I don't recognize. I check the information they gave me - the episode's title and description - but those are pretty vague and don't help. So, I click it, guessing it'll take me to the show's page.... Nope, it takes me to a page about the episode, with basically the same information as I had before. But there'll be a link to the main show page there, right? Of course not. So, I go to play the episode, hoping there's a link in there, and the closest I can find is the back button.... that takes me back to the episode page. As far as I can tell, there is literally no path from the continue watching section to a show's page (I did eventually figure out what show it was after looking for the OP in the episode - it was Dark Gathering)

Also check out this screenie I took of the (4-pixel tall) only place the title is written on Whisper Me a Love Song on the front page (because it's so small in the splash image)

Yes! I had the exact same issue with an episode of The Executioner and her Way of Life. Somehow it created a playlist for recently played videos instead of a playlist of the series I was watching, so when the episode ended it didn't start the next episode and there was no way to navigate to the series from the video. I had to manually search for the series to get back on track.
