Thanks for your report! slight_smile

Extra Details: The episode list is (I assume) incorrect. Demonerna/the demons is listed 2 times.

The main problem:
There is uncertainty and confusion about how many tv episodes originally aired on Swedish television in December 1984.
It's either 4 or 5?

On the Swedish Wikipedia, you can read:
"Den sändes senare som miniserie på SVT i fyra avsnitt och fem akter, inklusive prolog och epilog, i olika tidslängder på Bergmans begäran."
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_och_Alexander#Distribution

Translated -> it was 4 tv episodes that included 5 (dramatic) acts + prolog/epilogue.

Now read the English Wikipedia:
"It subsequently aired as a miniseries on Sveriges Television in four segments, and five episodes of unequal length at Bergman's demand."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_and_Alexander#Release

That's the opposite of what the Swedish text states! I assume it's a bad translation.
But you can see the confusion in the current data.

On the Swedish Wikipedia, there's a footnote about the miniseries:
"Miniserien är uppdelad i fyra avsnitt. Det första avsnittet är 99 minuter långt och kombinerar Prologen och akten "Familjen Ekdahl firar jul"; det andra avsnittet är 75 minuter långt och skildrar akterna "Vålnaden" och "Uppbrottet"; det tredje avsnittet är 57 minuter långt och skildrar akten "Sommarens händelser"; det fjärde avsnittet är 83 minuter långt och kombinerar akten "Demonerna" och Epilogen"
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanny_och_Alexander#cite_note-Avsnitt-12

Google translated:
"The miniseries is divided into four episodes. The first episode is 99 minutes long and combines the Prologue and the act "The Ekdahl Family Celebrates Christmas"; the second episode is 75 minutes long and depicts the acts "The Ghost" and "The Breakup"; the third episode is 57 minutes long and depicts the act "The Summer Events"; the fourth episode is 83 minutes long and combines the act "The Demons" and the Epilogue"

What's most likely correct for TMDb - 4 episodes, because that's the original airing.
But I would like to find some (bullet) proof for that before I change the data...

Found it:

4 episodes, not 5.

Fixed.
