Need some clarification on what you mean by it's not possible to request for a particular season of a series as it has always been possible. Just not individual episodes

[greggameplayer]

Oh okay i haven't seen that when you click on ask it would prompt you that, i thought it would download the entire serie

[lucasshiva]

I think requesting individual episodes would be very helpful, especially when you're looking for something new to watch and don't want to request entire seasons just to watch a single episode.

Is this going to be done?

Saw this post about why it might be hard (https://github.com/Fallenbagel/jellyseerr/issues/592#issuecomment-1847836482).

But Sonarr does implement multiple monitoring options like "Pilot Episode Only". I'm not familiar with the Jellyseerr implementation, how it submits new series / movies Sonarr/Radarr, but I can imagine adding a series as "paused", changing it to "monitor only pilot episode" and then "unpause" it could work.. :thinking:

Would it be possible to add this function initially for series where sonarr and tmdb agree on episode numbering? And/or perhaps set this feature as experimental, to be activated in the settings if we understand the risks ?
