My least favorite disneyplus.com experience is using the desktop site to try to find an episode of Bluey which the kids are asking for.

"We want to watch 'The Beach', please."

OK let's go to disneyplus.com and type in "Bluey" (no search by episode name). There are 3 seasons available. I can see five episode titles at a time.

Hmm, how do I see more episodes? Oh right, if I hover my mouse over episode 6, a right arrow is visible. Let's tap that one...two...three..four times, here we go, s01e26 The Beach.

There are about 50 episodes per season, so good luck finding s02e45. Also, the order in which they are shelved on Disney Plus sometimes varies versus what's shown in Web searches for the episode order.

You can search the episodes in google eg.

bluey "the beach" episode

YouTube search is really good for that.

"Muddy trucks please"

Me types "muddy trucks kids show".

Exact show is in the top 5 and you have the hover to play snippet feature that gives the kids an idea if its the show they wanted to see.
