Filter the duplicate mini series as TV show and Movie

Hello! I noticed some mini-series TV is duplicate as TV show and Movie, like for "the OA" : https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/69061-the-oa https://www.themoviedb.org/movie/432192-the-oa We use your api on our app, but when user try to make a post with "the OA", they found 2 results : the TV show, and the Movie.
As "the OA" is a TV show and not really a Movie, there is a way to filter the mini-serie (who is duplicate as a Movie, like "the OA") via the API? Or maybe, is it possible to remove the duplicate item (Movie) on the moviedb?

Hi Dylan,
There's no way to exclude results on the API. You would have to do this client side. There's lots of these "mini series" entries though, probably into the hundreds.
I have some plans to publish a list of deleted ids, I might consider adding these mini series ids as a list as well, so that people can track them better.
In any case, for now, you will ave to do the excluding client side.
