Type of Problem: Design_issue
Extra Details: Please open the RUNTIME section. Letterboxd summarizes the TOTAL RUNTIME of the miniseries by the RUNTIME indicated in the main card multiplied by the number of episodes. Accordingly, if we want an accurate timekeeping of the entire series on the main page, we need to specify the arithmetic mean. In this case, the total RUNTIME of the series is 362 minutes, there are 7 episodes in total, so the average RUNTIME of one episode should be 52 MINUTES.
In most mini-series on TMDB, it is the average runtime of one series that is put on. Some people, for some reason, seeing that the limited series is written on the main page, and write the TOTAL RUNTIME, which is why this number is multiplied by the number of episodes in the Letterboxd, and nonsense comes out. I mean, I understand why you close the runtime section sometimes.

You need to kindly ask Letterboxd to fix the way they calculate the miniseries duration. The error is on their side.
On our site, the episode duration should only be used when all the episodes has the same duration. Otherwise, it should be locked empty. If the episodes have variable duration, this duration should only be set at the episode level.
The series level field should NEVER be used to set the arithmetic mean of the episodes duration.
