Uncombine Netflix Documentaries

I am unsure if this is the place to post this, if not please move it or redirect me to the proper category.

IMDb decided to combine 3 Netflix documentaries into 1 series. These being:

  1. Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story
  2. Monster: The Ed Gein Story
  3. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story

While these do belong in a ‘Monster’ anthology, they are not 1 series. They are not shown or advertised as seasons, only mentions of “From the same creators of …”. When you go on Netflix and search for them, they are displayed as 3 different entries and not under seasons of 1 show.

I believe these 3 documentaries should either be kept as 3 distinctive series or if you wish to keep them together at least called it ‘Monster’ because it makes so sense to have the other 2 as seasons under ‘Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story’ when they have nothing to do with Dahmer.

TMBD displays them as 3 completely different shows.

  1. Monster: The Ed Gein Story (TV Series 2025-2025) — The Movie Database (TMDB)
  2. Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story (TV Series 2024-2024) — The Movie Database (TMDB)
  3. DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story (TV Series 2022-2022) — The Movie Database (TMDB)

It’s IMDb that doesn’t. They now display it just under ‘Monster’.

  1. Monster (TV Series 2022– ) - IMDb

Netflix still shows them as 3 different series. Trakt is able to migrate the page to TMBD and separate the data of each season as a different shows. I requested they do the opposite with I am Groot when IMDb decided to separate each episode into movies for some odd reason and Trakt was able to adjust, I don’t see why they can’t for this.

Ahh I see, so they are 3 different series on Trakt, it’s just the Old Dahmer entry is now a series combining all 3. Trakt needs to delete it and merge the watched data to the new one?

Thank you.

to be fair, I think this change happened within the last 2 hours because I was watching shows and marking them watched. Then boop, out of nowhere Dahmer came back up on my Up Next and I was so confused haha

I’ve merged the data of the page that had the 3 seasons with the 3 individual shows.
We list the shows as they list on TMDB and what matters there is how they originally aired. So if they have 3 different pages for them on Netflix, that’s how we list them.
