Getting season data when retrieving a show about themoviedbapi HOT 1 CLOSED

Have you seen the FAQ already? :-) https://github.com/holgerbrandl/themoviedbapi#most-common-question-why-does-getsomething-returns-null

We just mimic the design of the tmdb rest api here. It would be extremely costly (in terms of requests and the load on the tmdb server side) to navigate down the full tree when a client is asking for some series info. Like you could argue that you would need not just the season, but also the series details, including all artwork, and so on. It would not be clear at all where to stop because that's highly application dependent, so in order to avoid lots of unneeded traffic they decided to share the same class but fill it with mostly null unless the users specifies fields of interest.

What we could do an the Java Wrapper level is to provide some convenience functions to to fully fetch certain records. Feel welcome to submit a PR in case you have an idea to do this in way.
