Research direction

Start by tracing the season request handling and the client’s individual episode requests, then inspect how the TMDB season response’s episodes node is currently treated. Done means the request flow has a clear decision on reusing that data and verifies whether it reduces separate web requests.

Description

enhancement

For the first release I'm ignoring the episodes node of a season request, but we could use it to save on web requests from us to TMDB. Possibly something similar in our client too instead of individual episode requests since that could make it significantly faster for users.
