For Swarm, please remove thriller and drama from genres, and replace them with horror and crime.

It's a show about a serial killer that murders people in very graphic ways. It's not a thriller or a drama nor does it say that at the official source. In fact it says it's about murder.

Thank you.

Looking at this, I switched it from Drama to Horror.  Thriller vs Crime is more iffy, so I left it as Thriller.

Thanks.

Is there some way I can persuade you to change thriller to crime? Swarm is about a serial killer and the graphic murders she commits as well as the investigations lead by one police detective portrayed by actress Heather Alicia Simms. There's no mention of thriller in any press releases or in the official show or genre description. But it does say "not a work of fiction" because it's loosely based on actual murder cases.

I would appreciate that.

Friends, I'm sorry if I'm writing on the wrong topic, but I'm faced with an incomprehensible situation. I used to make relatively many edits on the site and reached the point where the moderators didn't have to check every my edit (https://www.tvmaze.com/users/5210/darthniemand/editkarma). Today I decided to make a few more edits to the series I'm interested in, but after the second one, a message appeared that the edits of new users should be verified. But I'm not a new user at all. Dear administrators and/or moderators, could you help me, please?

Sure thing. It looks like you've been inactive for a while, causing your editing threshold levels to reset. You should be good to go now, though :)

To me that article doesn't really mark it as a crime series vs a thriller. I'm not going to argue if one of the heads decides to change it, but personally I think the current genres are fine.

From Amazon Prime Video (official source):

Murder. Sex. Music. This is not a work of fiction.

From article:

After piecing together a series of clues, including items left at murder scenes by the killer and news articles about the group of dancers we saw Dre meet at the club, [detective Loretta Greene] deduces that Dre – who is named Andrea Greene in this episode – is a possible suspect.

From TVmaze's policy:

Crime -- Series with criminal activities and police investigations.
Examples: CSI, NCIS, Hawaii Five O

Thriller is never mentioned in any official sources for Swarm. That article explains that police investigation into a serial killer (Dre, the main character) is central to the plot. Official sources also cite murder and non-fiction in the show description. (For the most part it is fiction but loosely based on real murder cases.)

So I'd like to ask a head to change Thriller to Crime since tallanvor said he is good with that. Thank you.

There is a big difference between the two. Like that thrillers don't always involve crime such as Killer Whale (2026) which was just about a group of friends trying to escape a killer orca whale.
