The Movie Database Support

Was trying to implementing searching for movies in my app. The endpoint is garbage. Please improve this as a top-priority item.

If I search for just the character s, the fourth result is movieId 698438, see the JSON for this attached below. Take a look at the poster and backdrop path. Here's the link for your convenience, just add the path https://image.tmdb.org/t/p/original/{path}. I'm displaying this as the fourth result to the character s. Is this a joke? How is that not marked as adult? And this is just one, I faced countless others from just as trivial and basic searches.

The query params for this route (https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/search-movie) are, frankly, worthless.

I literally don't know what to do. There's no way I can filter this out effectively. I can seek out additional data from other endpoints such as the certification/age-rating, but that's hardly consistent, there's no published list of possible certification categories, and the field is literally empty for many movies. But that's completely besides that point - I really shouldn't have to worry about adult and inappropriate material when trying to access this endpoint.

Please do better.
