Reported Problem for Season 2
posted by BigWheel88STAFFMOD on August 22, 2023 at 9:59 AM
Item: Season 2
Language: en-US
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Incorrect external IDs for most episodes in season 2 and season 5.
EXternal ID for Season 2 episode 1 here "Turkey" actually leads to the the France episode which other sites TVDB and IMDB have as S02E01
again that is just an example there are many episodes that are wrong in this way

A lot of National Geographic series are aired in different orders in different countries.
With regard to TVDB, their policy for episodes in all seasons is to match the air dates of whichever network aired Season 1 Episode 1. That episode first aired on National Geographic UK so TVDB air dates for all Season 2 episodes match National Geographic UK.
I can personally confirm that the TVDB dates and order for Season 2 are correct for the UK airing as my TV tracking app shows the dates I watched the episodes.
It therefore appears someone has entered the dates and order in TMDB for a different countries airing order. I'm not as familiar with TMDB's rules so not sure whether that is correct. I also haven't been able to find an official source which shows the original air dates and I'm sure a TMDB moderator rightly wouldn't accept my TV tracking app as a source. It may help you understand why TMDB has a different order to TVDB and IMDb though.

Season 5 is correct, but I fixed the episode order & external IDs for seasons 2 and 3.
