Bug: erratic behavior and display on TV series

[Dehelssey]

Currently we can only rate and review seasons of a show.

A nice addition would be to be able to do so for the complete series.

I seem to be able to add comments and tags to TV Series and after I mark series as "Watching" I can add notes and reviews as well.

I prefer to do this due to the titles of most seasons on TMDB to be just "Season N", which isn't really informative when viewing posts in the feed. I might open a request for title handling of seasons, but I don't have a clear idea of how I would fix it myself yet.

OK my bad, I don't understand why but on some TV Shows things are displayed like this:

so yeah, obviously i can rate/mark them (but notice how button links to seasons are not displayed)

While on others I have this:

I realized I can rate and mark them by clicking on the my comment and tags link but it's not displayed as on other pages so I felt like I wasn't able to rate/mark them at all^^

There's a third type of tv shows, where I can both rate the complete show or select seaons one by one:

So yeah, not as broken as I thought first, maybe not a top priority, but kinda confusing though :)

Changed the title of the issue so it's a bit more accurate to actual issue: not all TV show/series are displayed the same way, some have seasons listed (which links to different items) some don't (you might even have items for the same series, one with the seasons, one without.

When TV show/series has seasons listed, the "to watch" / "watching" / "watched" buttons are not displayed, you're asked to select a season to comment (you have to click on "my comments & tags" to actually mark that item and not one of its children, which is sub-optimal^^)

Thanks for the feedback.

I worked on this quite a while ago but only covered zh and en, now I just added more languages, so hopefully it's more acceptable:

curl -sH'accept-language:fr' https://eggplant.place/api/tv/season/1SkOtvwTFVjHBoO0Q3y8in | jq .| grep 'display_title'
  "display_title": "Breaking Bad — Saison 2",

if there's still strong preference to do this at TV level after the fix above, I'll make an option for it later.

That explains why I suddenly ended up with nice looking names. During the latest translation updates I ended up with English as my preferred language.

Then I am not quite sure if I personally would prefer to rate and comment on series or season level. Probably depends on the show.
