By using a comma, you’re asking to filter any movies that have all of those genres entered, and there is probably none.
You should switch to use a pipe
|instead which turns it into an OR query, which I believe is what you’re actually looking for.Reply by blaidyalah

For some reason i still have the problem, for example when i call https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popular?api_key=$$$$$&sort_by=popularity.desc I get squid game, i try calling the api with end point &without_genres=18, but i again get squid game which has a genre 18.

Hi @blaidyalah,
I am not seeing Squid Game returned in this query:
When using
without_genres=18, there are 149,775 results. When I remove it, there is 190,497 results which seems correct.Reply by blaidyalah
