For the life of me I cannot figure out why Plex can’t find any TV show. I have looked at others suggestions and nothing seems to work. For example I am trying to upload Killing Eve. I have my folders as: Killing Eve (2018)-Killing Eve Season 1 (2018)-Killing Eve (2018) S01E01 Nice Face and nothing. I have tried using Killing Eve S01E01. Killing Eve Season 1 Episode One. Killing Eve (2018) S01E01. Killing Eve (2018) S01E01. Still nothing. I moved the folder over to my Movies section and it was able to find the series but it uploaded individual episodes instead of listing it as a season. I am stumped and have no clue what else I can do to label it.
Any advice would be really appreciated!

This should work:
```plaintext
TV Shows <- the folder linked to you tv show library
Killing Eve (2018)
Season 01
Killing Eve (2018) s01e01 Nice Face
```
If you’re directly pointing your library to the Killing Eve subfolder, that’s going to cause trouble.
If it’s still not working, there could be a permission issue (depending on what platform your PMS is running).

That implies there’s no permission problem, just a case of bad naming / folder organization. If your episodes are picked up in a movie library, they’re not named according to the naming convention for Plex tv shows.
