Reported Problem for Series 2
posted by KoalaBear84STAFFMOD on September 12, 2023 at 12:54 AM
Item: Series 2
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: It looks like all the titles from Series/season 2 are incorrect, both WikiPedia and Netflix report different titles.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_The_Fall_episodes#Series_2_(2014) https://www.netflix.com/title/70272726 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2294189/episodes?season=2
It looks like (alternative?) titles from a fandom page are taken, but even those do also have the other recognize titles.

I don't understand. :)

I may be wrong, but I believe TMDB rules are that episode titles should match those provided by the original broadcaster.
In this case, that was RTÉ One:

Therefore the titles should simply be "Episode 1" and "Episode 2" etc

OK, thanks!
I do not see specific naming rules about the original broadcaster, but I do see that it should be in the original language.
I would vote not to use "Episode 1" if possible, but in this case there is the Netflix/Wikipedia names, and an alternative ones, not sure which is the most 'common'.

The rules for episode titles are here. The titles should be the ones from the original broadcast.
We don't care about "the most common". We want the original one.
Based on the archive, the RTE original titles are:
which means that they should be "Episode One", "Episode Two", ...
As the currently listed titles weren't used by RTE at the time of the original broadcast, I'm going to remove them and restore the titles used by RTE.
