DVD menus are all over the map.
Most don't have enough contrast to see what button is highlighted. Some don't label or number the episodes. Some have super obnoxious background music. Some auto-play the entire content after a few minutes without being clicked. Some have twenty minutes of un-skippable previews (looking at you there Universal Studios). After an episode is done, some select the next one and some don't. Some use take five seconds to respond to a click because there are fancy effects programmed into it. Almost none of them go into a simple standby mode screen.
I'm now watching the old British Mi-5 tv series. It starts with a two minute mini-movie of a masked man breaking into a house (yours lol), split screens, instruction voice over from command, and lands at an unlabeled photo of a desk with objects. Oh it's a puzzle I didn't want.
Game of Thrones? Oh where to even begin. It's all wrong. Click on anything. Any episode. Any bonus feature. It will always say "Insert disk x". What? Why even show it then? Some bonus features are all on the last disk. Some are on the current. Some are on another. You have to know the secret code or resort to 'Play All' from the start.
