No problem

This is what happened:  
1.- Removed the show from the library folder  
2.- Did The [Plex Dance](https://forums.plex.tv/t/the-plex-dance/197064)  
3.- Renamed the titles to English and removed the hyphen from the files titles  
4.- Added the show to the library folder  
5.- Updated the library and…  
6.- …Plex got a perfect match 😄

Curiously, Plex sets the hyphen back in the show title so it’s probably a problem sending a query with hyphens to The TVDB. It may help others in similar circumstances.

Many thanks, @OttoKerner and @JuiceWSA.
