This series was released in 2016 in UK, but the US dates are now shown at first. The series has then now a "2016-2017" range, while it was shot only in 2016.
Is this the usual way to do in IMDb?

Thanks for this answer, Michelle.
I tried to see why the US dates appear at first, but I don't see any reason but a possible reverse chronological order... Should there be "TV Premiere" set as attribute to have the UK dates to be shown at first? For now, as I don't want/have to change the dates (I guess they're all good!) but only the way they appears, the updating form for the release dates don't work: the answer I get when I try to leave a message is
"This item has been rejected. You need to correct this item before it will be accepted." :/
Should I propose a wrong date on purpose so the editors can notice the problem? This would be a weird method :)
There's now only one episode (the 8th and last one) left with the accurate 2016 date, most probably because this episode has not yet been aired in USA...

I don't think you should try to change the data. It's a display issue.
Don't worry, I won't change anything. As said above, it would be strange workaround :)
Is this a display issue or site setting one? The tests I mention in my last comment below could indicate a browser origin, but even on "2016 friendly" browsers, the series now shows a "2016 - 2017" line for the episodes on its main page, even if no new episodes were shot in 2017. Will it show only 2017 (with the actors mentioned for 2016 only) when Adrian will add the 2017 airing date for the last episode?

Belmer, generally I enter the US date when I watch the episodes. However, someone else has entered the US release dates for episodes 6 & 7. The release date entered for episode 7 is incorrect. Cambodia does not air in the US until 8/28, not 8/21 when Rome is being re-run. Currently, I don't know when episode 8 will air. TV Guide doesn't list it yet nor does my DVR. When I know, I will enter it.

Hi Adrian.
No, I'm in France, and I'm usually unlogged (with cookies disabled). This is why I found it weird to see the US dates showing at first (logged or unlogged) for Hooten...: for now, all movies and series were showing the initial release dates, whatever their country of origin. Which sounds the most logical, for me.

Hey Belmer,
I'm going to guess that IMDb defaults to "US" if it doesn't know your location or if it does know your location but doesn't have a location specific release date. Hooten & the Lady is changing for you because I enter a US release date as I watch the series. So, before July or so, there was only the UK release date. There is probably now a US release date for the first 4 or 5 episodes.
I'm not sure what the desired behavior is. I tend to agree with you that it should be earliest release date. Maybe Michelle will respond.
