Hello,
using
https://api.themoviedb.org/3/tv/popular?language=en-US&page=1
gives a wildly different result than what is shown on https://www.themoviedb.org/tv and I'm interested in how I can retrieve a list similar to that.

Considering this Note that is on the page in DOCs:
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/movie-popular-list
I suggest you look at Discover.
https://developer.themoviedb.org/reference/discover-tv
And use the same filters that are being used on your Web Popularity page.

Hey, thanks for the answer. I tried the discover method, but as you said, since the notes say it is the same API call as the popular call, it returns the exact same result.
Yes, but that is the question. I want to replicate this list https://www.themoviedb.org/tv, however I don't know the right API call since it is not the popular call.

It's a Discover API Request using
&sort_by=popularity.desc
I don't know what other filters you use on your TMDb web page.
