IMDb used to be my go to app whenever I wanted to find out information about TV episodes. Now IMDB is complete garbage! Episode dates and titles of episodes are completely wrong in almost every show I look up including how to get away with murder, the path etc. I guess I'll find a different way to look for my info

I believe m is talking about the air dates and episode titles.
Some examples:
The Handmaids Tale - S01
Episode 1 airs April 26, 2017
Episodes 2 - 10 airs January 1, 2017
Handmaids wrapped principle photography on Feb. 5, 2017
So how can a show air episodes when they haven't finished filming them yet, let alone are not even in post production?
The Americans - S05
Episode 1 'Amber Waves' airs March 7, 2017
Episodes 2 - 11 airs once a week
Episodes 12 and 13 airs January 1, 2017
Orphan Black - S05
Episode 1 airs June 10, 2017
Episodes 2 - 10 airs January 1, 2017
I think what m is talking about is that before the Message Board purge, the air dates and listings were up-to-date and not retro back dated.
For me I can do the math and I just need the first air date and go from there. So I can see how others can view this glitch as frustrating and that IMDb has dropped the ball on this section and are waiting for it to be corrected.

For series (or seasons) that haven't aired yet, this is always going to be a problem. The data is user entered and probably by someone that knows little else than how many episodes there are going to be.
However, it is a self correcting problem. As episodes air (or are scheduled to air), the title and release dates will be corrected but users like me. Pretty much all data before actual release should be taken with a grain of salt.
