I agree. The other "Content Issue" thread here is about the same, but has been closed. It seems that this series was first released in the UK under the "Pervert" title, but retitled for the rest of the English speaking world, including the US. Thinking of user experience, I imagine that more people will end up engaging with this series as "Don't Pick Up the Phone" regardless of it's original title and any TMDB rule. As a regular end user of TMDB, when I searched for "Don't Pick Up the Phone" to rate and discuss, this title was the only one that popped up, and my initial response was "nope, that's not the right series."

The title is correct.

Since it was first released in the UK, it should use UK title and the Netflix title should be added as an alternative title for the US.

This is correct the Us title for this is “Don’t Pick Up the Phone”, "Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller" is the UK Title for this show. In fact the title of this show is “Don’t Pick Up the Phone” in all other regions (in that regions native language of course)(except the UK))

I am not sure if this site supports UK entries/profiles if it does there should be two profiles one for “Language: en-UK” with the IMBD ID of tt23334248 which points to IMDB’s entry/profile for "Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt23334248/).I would suggest using this profile as it is already setup for the UK information (network, episode titles, episode descriptions, release date, region, proper trailer video, IMDB ID(tt23334248) and TVDB ID(427843) which is the profile of the uk version of the show "Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller"(not sure if their site is supposed to support UK shows, but that is a different can of worms)with all relevant information, including pointing to the proper IMDB ID of tt23334248, also pointing here which is correct as this profile is currently setup for the UK version of the show.) the miniseries overview/blurb/description should also be changed from ”Season 1 of Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller premiered on October 24, 2022.” (I couldn’t find/figure out how to edit this and it may even also be a locked field) to “Season 1 of Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller premiered on Paramount+ October 24, 2022.”. Perhaps the “Season 1 of” should be removed as this is a miniseries and a true crime docuseires and is not expected and unlikely to have another season as the story is wrapped up and any further developments would be minute and unlikely to trigger a new season. I don’t know if this is a regional thing and the UK still refers to it as a “season” even though it is a miniseries/docuseries and not expected to have further “seasons”. The Paramount+ should be added for clarification as "Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller" only exists on Paramount+ and in the UK.

If this site supports UK entries/profiles in addition to the above, a second profile for the US version should be created as well(might be easier to duplicate it and change the relative information as it is actually the same show just under different names and distributers depending on region). With the name “Don’t Pick Up the Phone” and the proper IMDB ID ((tt23826740) now freed up as it has been removed from "Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller" because its IMDB ID has been corrected to IMDB ID(tt23334248) replacing it. The rest of the relative information should be added. Network:Netflix, Netflix’s miniseries description, Netflix’s episode titles, Netflix’s episode descriptions, Netflix’s release date, Netflix’s trailer and region(s) US and every other region with the exception of the UK.

I was unable to find tv/216312 and whether or not it was merged as another user suggested. If it was perhaps it shouldn’t have been depending on the content of the entry/profile.it may have been the US entry/profile or a duplicate profile using the correct IMBD ID of tt23334248 for "Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller". If possible and depending on the content of the entry/profile it may be beneficial/needed to be unmerged.

I understand the confusion as it is an acquired/license show, in a “first of its kind-of-deal” an it is in fact the same show just Paramount+ has the exclusive the right to the UK which is why it’s all of the current information is branded as a Paramount+ and they decided to name it “Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller” but Netflix has the exclusive rights to the US and the rest of the world which is why it’s branded a Netflix series and name it “Don’t Pick Up the Phone” I wish they would have both used the same name but they didn’t (if may have to do with copyright or trademark as both shows acquired/licensed it as an exclusives (just in different regions)).

If this site does not support UK entries/profiles and only supports US entries/profiles this profile will need to be completely overhauled. changing all the relative information. Title: “Don’t Pick Up the Phone”, IMDB ID(tt23826740), Network:Netflix, Netflix’s miniseries description, Netflix’s episode titles, Netflix’s episode descriptions, Netflix’s release date, Netflix’s trailer and region(s) to US and every other region with the exception of the UK.

I believe each should list the other as an alternate title since it is in fact the same show(i.e “Don’t Pick Up the Phone” should list “Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller” as an alternate title and vice verse if this site dose support UK shows and a entry/profile is crated for “Pervert: Hunting the Strip Search Caller”)

I Believe that their should be two profiles if this site supports UK shows or the Profile should be updated with the US title and information if it does not. As this site uses IMDB ID’s to create profiles and IMDB treats it as two separate “shows’/profiles, this site should two otherwise what is the point in using the IMDB IDs to create profiles.
