#### Short description of the issue - Cannot import Real Men 300 (2018) due to an IMDb ID collision with Real Men (2013). #### Detailed description with additional context about the workflow 1. Attempting to import Real Men 300 from TMDB fails because its TMDB entry was mistakenly populated with the IMDb ID `tt5643184` (which belongs to the original 2013 Real Men show). 2. Trakt’s automated importer rejects Real Men 300 since IMDb ID `tt5643184` is already registered to another show in Trakt’s database. 3. The original Real Men page on Trakt is also missing its proper search indexing unless searched directly by IMDb ID. **IDs for Reference:** - **Real Men (2013):** IMDb `tt5643184` | TVDB `358603` - **Real Men 300 (2018):** IMDb `tt10564170` | TVDB `353429` **Request:** Please unbind IMDb ID `tt5643184` from the Real Men 300 entry, restore/re-index the original Real Men (2013) page with its proper IDs, and trigger a clean import for Real Men 300 using TVDB ID `353429`. #### Screenshots and other visual aids - - ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/trakt/original/3X/5/5/552f0ce2850c4edb90514a9bfe611730479b1b8f.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/trakt/original/3X/c/6/c6cf3439092d9f18037271db141d8bee1bdce15f.png)
