Duplicate paginated results when requesting similar/recommended movies.

It seems like for some movie Id like tt10896398 it is showing duplicate results for each page. The query is as follows,
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/movie/tt10896398/similar?page=1
When it loads it says that there is a total of 130 pages of movies similar to it, but on page 2 it shows the same 20 movies as before. Seems like the results are duplicate for all the pages! Are there any fixes you can recommend?

Did you try using our Id instead of the IMDB Id ?

The Id for the movie is

Hi @kp2016, interesting find. I have created a new ticket for me to look at this in the next few days.

Thanks for looking into this. I have the same problem but with TV shows.
