Allow series-level release dates

Ever since the introduction of episode pages it has not been possible to directly add a release date to the main page of a TV series. I would like this to change: - It would let users easily find a list of the earliest release dates in the place they are used to finding them for other kinds of titl

Non-binary actors on IMDB

Hello,I think IMDB should honour non-binary acting people with a relevant tag instead of actor/actress. Maybe another name, like "acting person" or something reflecting the fact that they're non-binary. As an example please see the profile of Asia Kate Dillon tagged as "actress" while they are ident

Could you prevent new users from making reviews?

One of many issues are fake user reviews. Recently I have went to read Thor Ragnarok reviews prior to seeing the movie. What I found out was that 90% of the reviews have 10/10 and almost all (maybe besides 1-2) are 2 day old accounts. Some of those accounts are from the same people, as they share re

While perusing pages of some of my favorite soap actors, I constantly find there are many character names that are misspelled.

Separate pages for different seasons of anthology television!

I think IMDb should separate seasons of anthology television, like True Detective and American Horror Story. It is very difficult to find an actor when there are multiple seasons with completely different casts. The star of one season can be buried after so many. It wouldn't make sense to group a mo
