You guys would rather be “technically correct” than put these titles into the format quite literally 99% of the population would recognize them as? Nobody in the US watched a “TV Show” called “Die Hart”. They were released as movies and should be listed as such.
I wanted to address the categorization of "Die Hart" on TMDB. It seems that there has been some confusion about whether it should be listed as a movie or a series. Originally, "Die Hart" was released as a series on Quibi, which is why TMDB classifies it as such. However, it's important to note that it was later released on Amazon Prime as a full-length movie, which is how the majority of viewers now recognize it.
Given that 99% of the population who watched "Die Hart" did so as a movie on Amazon Prime, it makes sense for TMDB to reflect this change. Keeping it as a series might confuse users who are searching for the movie they watched. Since TMDB aims to be an accurate and user-friendly database, updating the classification to a movie would better align with the current public perception and viewing habits.
I hope TMDB can consider this adjustment to ensure the platform remains relevant and useful for all its users.
Hi, I would like to weigh in here, too.
Not considering which percentage of any given population watched or at least recognize the movie or the series, this new content bible of tmdb fails to recognize the paradigm shift to release these sorts of movies directly to streaming platforms instead of wasting money on screening them in theaters.
Every movie released in a professional setting should count as such, regardless if there is other material it is made from.

They were first released in the United States as a series on Quibi for the first season and on Roku for the second one.
