The Hot Zone issues...again.
As IMDb have officially ruled they should be listed as 2 separate mini-series
The episodes from the 2nd mini-series keep being re-added to the 1st mini-series as a '2nd Season' each time after they are merged away.
I can never get to a point where I can submit an end year to the first series.
I've submitted a new set of merges but after having issues having the odd ones accepted, can you make sure they all go through. Here are the numbers:
#1 - #220101-033134-705000
#2 - #220101-033707-820000
#3 - #220101-033743-167000
#4 - #220101-033807-245000
#5 - #220101-033835-837000
#6 - #220101-033907-624000
Also another issue I've tried but cannot fix, the 3rd episode is displaying an incorrect spelling of the title while the correct spelling is left as a AKA.

It needs to read as 'Neither Rain Nor Sleet...'
You can verify that here: https://www.nationalgeographic.com/tv/shows/the-hot-zone/episode-guide/season-02/episode-03-neither-rain-nor-sleet/vdka25456145
Hopefully we can end this ongoing saga soon. thanks.

Hi VonPunk & Adrian -
Apologies for the delayed response. I revisited this series in a discussion with the appropriate team and despite previous instructions, we will now treat this as a single anthology series (similar to Manhunt, American Crime Story, American Horror Story, etc.).
If there was a clearer separation between the series, for example, "Dexter" and "Dexter: New Blood", where a different creative group was involved and a great deal of time has passed, we may be inclined to list them separately. In this case, the distinction should be by different seasons of the same series.
I will now remove the duplicate series listing, the changes should be live on the site shortly.
Thanks again for your feedback!

They actually are the same series. I have no idea why IMDb would make that decision or when they made it because I remember requesting that they remove the end date on the first one when a second season was announced.
Your link title alone proves that National Geographic, who produced both series, believes that they are two seasons of the same series and not different mini-series.

Looks like the episodes have been merged the other way by someone leaving this page empty bar a couple of 100 adrift images: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13443456/
IMDb needs to sort this out one way or the other.
