I have no problem trying it. But like it says on https://support.plex.tv/articles/200220687-naming-series-season-based-tv-shows/
It should follow how it’s named on TheTVDB. Not every show has a date on TheTVDB to help identify it.

I did this, didn’t work.
Have to fix match manually.
There’s definitely a bug in 1.15 where Plex stops grabbing metadata at a certain point and you have to restart it to get it to work again.
Did this the same as @crisosma with adding the whole year to the name (both folder and file) and it still picked the wrong one, so can we please get this fixed!

Don’t forget the Plex Dance after renaming.
yes I know about the plex dance and I even tried it but like I said it doesn’t help at all. Also I delete episodes after watching since I just do not have the space to keep shows/episodes around at the moment due to disk space so every week when it downloads new episodes of this show I always end up having to go in and correct the match because it always decides to pick the one without any metadata even when I try your method of adding the whole (year) thing to it…
Thankfully this show just had a season finale so I don’t have to deal with going in and fixing the match every week for at least a while until season 2 starts up, and I’m praying that this issue is fixed by then since it’s a good several months or so away at least (fall 2019).
This is the only show that refuses to cooperate out of my roughly 2000 shows. I’ve been trying to get this one to correctly sync with Trakt for months now and it refuses to accept that I have all of the episodes. It thinks I have zero. This is due to TheTVDB and I can usually fix it by rematching it to the same title with less accuracy “so the Legacies - 96” one stated above instead of “Legacies - 99”. Regardless of which one I choose for this show, it still refuses to update. I’ve managed to fix plenty of shows with this exact problem. We really need some sort of alternative to TheTVDB. This has been an ongoing problem using them for metadata for years and years and it’s just getting worse unless the mod team decides to revamp and update their ridiculous rules/guidelines.
Thank you. I was going crazy. Thinking what’s up with this show!!! Didn’t bother trying what Kerner said as none of my other TV shows have the year in there so why would it be required for this only show? the 96% match fixed it 
Tried the 96% match, but only got a poster… no other Metadata with it. It looks like thetvdb could be down at the moment, so I hope it works after thetvdb comes back up.
Oh look at that, we are onto season 2 now and this issue still isn’t fixed… Metadata is still coming up blank on initial match until we go in manually and match it to the 96% one. This is just sad and stupid on so many levels.
Anyone ever gonna look at this? Just asking. . .
It’s been fixed since sometime after my last post (Oct 10th), from what I can tell. I haven’t had to go in and do a fix match for the past couple weeks now on legacies, as it’s thankfully been pulling in the correct metadata.
