Description of issue: when grabbing two shows that have previous come in without issue they show as unknown series. It’s finding the right episodes just won’t download them and won’t let me manually grab them 
Any ideas?
Without the ((debug logs)) requested when you opened this thread, it could be a number of things.
I have the same issue with Drifters:-

The logs don’t show anything about either of those series.
Based on @nawo69’s log snippet I see Drifters is a mess and I’m not yet sure how we’re going to deal with it. The problem is there is Drifters from 2013, currently airing season 4, then there is Drifters (2016) which is an anime series currently airing season 1, which releases using the name Drifters, which is the problem as an alias for that series has been added to the thexem.de (http://thexem.de/xem/show/3394) and Sonarr is matching to the alias (it checks aliases then shows in the library).
Hi, I’m having a problem with the UK comedy show “Drifters” (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=274564). The scene title is correct, however it is incorrectly being mapped to the show “Drifters (2016)” (http://thetvdb.com/?tab=series&id=312559).
I see there is an alias for the 2016 cartoon on TheXEM (http://thexem.de/xem/show/3394) so I guess this is what is causing the mixup. Is there anything that can be done about this?
Thanks.
Yeah, the alias on TheXEM is the issue, we don’t have a way to bypass that at this time. We have a couple ideas, but we still need to address the caveats.
