TV Genres need fixing
posted by Rocketeer RaccoonSTAFFMOD on August 15, 2017 at 9:14 AM
I've noticed that genres for TV are not setup very well at the moment and I think these changes need to be made.
- Split Action & Adventure into two.
- Add Horror
- Split Sci-Fi & Fantasy into two (Sci-Fi to Science Fiction)
- Remove Kids since we already have the Family genre.
- Split War & Politics into two.
- Add Romance
- Add Thriller
- Add Music

Updating/adding/removing genres is a big project that needs lot of planning and preparation for all of our downstream consumers. It will happen eventually but I don't have time to think about this right now.
Short answer, I agree, and it will happen at some point.

Fair enough, I'm not rushing you, take your time and I'm glad you took notice.

Why is this? Why rate a movie as "horror " and not a tvshow?

Well it's kind of odd at the moment to not have the Horror genre listed for TV shows since you got shows like The Walking Dead.
