Replace "Next Episode" item row with web client's "More from" #3652

Describe the feature you'd like

For TV shows, the web client has a "More from Season N" row that extends upon the ATV client's "Next Episode" row by also including the previous episode(s) in the season. That row also more closely matches behaviour in other streaming services with ATV clients.

I have had users (including myself) miss (or forget about) the "previous episode" button and instead go back to the home screen and back through the Series/Season fragments just to look at the previous episode's description. Switching to a row such as the web client's would mean being able to get rid of that button in favour of a more intuitive and common usage pattern.

A minor issue I have with the web client's implementation is that the current episode in the row is not distinguished from the other entries. It would be nice if an ATV implementation would have the current episode distinguished from the others. Or perhaps it should even be excluded or replaced with a small placeholder instead?
