DP does not use a default for Series. You decide via your feed file if the Series contains Seasons of Episodes, or, just Episodes. It's not unusual to have a Series with only Episodes. It all depends on how you code the feed file.

I did not add any "season" tags. Only "episodes". But when you go to the "series" and click on "See all episodes" it says "Season 2018 (2018) on the left A sample of my code is here:

"shortDescription": "School Inc. is a global exploration of discovery by the late Andrew Coulson, senior fellow of education policy at Cato Institute’s Center for Educational Freedom. He takes viewers on a worldwide personal quest for an answer to the question—if you build a better way to teach a subject, why doesn’t the world beat a path to your door, like they do in other industries? The three-part documentary exposes audiences to unfamiliar and often startling realities: the sad fate of Jaime Escalante after the release of the feature film Stand and Deliver; Korean teachers who earn millions of dollars every year; private schools in India that produce excellent results but charge only $5 a month; current U.S. efforts to provide choices and replicate educational excellence; and schools in Chile and Sweden—in which top K-12 teachers and schools have already begun to “scale-up,” reaching large and ever-growing numbers of students."

Can you post a picture of what you're seeing? I've got a Series with a bunch of Episodes, but, I'm not seeing what you describe.
