I found two problems:

  • The font size of release date is too small;
  • Date format isn't optimal, in my opinion. I'd prefer 1999-Oct-15 rather than 15.10.99 as default, for example, since the year of release is far more important than day and month. For all available date formats, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date#Date_format

I deliberately made the font size smaller in order not to clutter the 'card' too much. Why do you think it is too small?

I agree with your point about the date representation. It must have slipped past me, as I do not really like this representation either. The alternative you suggest seems good to me.

IMHO, the release date is more important information than genres, for example. That's why I think it preferable to make the font size of genres smaller and use normal size for the release date.

Besides, it seems that if a show that has more than 4 genres, you can't display all of them with the current font size.

That's where I disagree with you. I'll consider what options there are in terms of UI however.

I do not think this is a major issue, the genres are mainly to give you a rough idea of the kind of movie/series it is. So it is not necessary to be able to see all of them (you can just go to the movie/series page to see everything).

So, the description. Probably it's useful to make description's font smaller to allow user to read more.
