Improve HTML meta data "og:description" to contain more/relevant information.
Why is the HTML code 'description' and the HTML code meta 'og:description' contents quite different?
Please change IMDb code/CMS so that the later replicates for the former.
For example, if I link to TV show/series Ripley - https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11016042/ - the HTML code description for the page is ...
"Ripley: With Andrew Scott, Dakota Fanning, Johnny Flynn, Margherita Buy. A grifter named Ripley living in New York during the 1960s is hired by a wealthy man to bring his vagabond son home from Italy."
.... vs HTML code meta 'og:description' which is ...
"1h | TV-MA"
When linking to IMDB pages for systems that, rightly, use the 'og:description' for unfurl/preview, then the description accompanying the link is quite useless. I would like to see the 'og:description' replicate the HTML code 'description' please.

Hi @auMouth -
I can confirm that the differences regarding the HTML codes you inquired about is intentional and working as designed. Furthermore, if you need the data you can pull it off the json+LD object or the html description.
Cheers!
