Footnotes

1. Currently only TV shows are filtered by origin country, not movies. ↩

2. It can actually be run with anyone as your start person, you just need their TMDB ID. You may also need to adjust the code, e.g., I am planning an Australian drama version for which I will need to adjust the country filter. ↩
