Show season number when season has a name?

So, just 4 days ago there was an update where seasons are now identified by name, rather than just “Season 2”, if TheMovieDB has a named season:

Use season names from TMDB

I really need this. I know this thingy doesn’t make any sense for English content, but for most other languages, they don’t name it as seasons. Think about the James Bond movie. If someone says James Bond Season 17, does it mean anything to you? No. That’s how it feels for TVs that are not named by seasons. In practice, for a historical documentary, season 17 may be a time period. No one cares about the fact it’s the 17th time period, only the name of that time period.

And I can understand why some people like that, but for me it’s very strange and harms more than it helps. I was confused why Season 2 suddenly seemed to be missing from Atlanta, for me, for example:

Atlanta

In my head, I feel lost if I don’t know the number of a season, and it’s not immediately obvious if I have all of the seasons, if I’m missing the first one or a middle one or the last one, etc.

So I think the idea of season titles is great, but I think it would be far more helpful if they could be prefixed with the actual number. So that if you look at “One Piece”:

One Piece

Rather than seasons listed like this, where it’s unclear if they’re in order or if any are missing:

• East Blue Arc
• Whiskey Peak & Little Garden Arcs
• Drum Island Arc

They would be listed:

• Season 1: East Blue Arc
• Season 2: Whiskey Peak & Little Garden Arcs
• Season 3: Drum Island Arc

Or alternatively, if that’s too much space, simply:

• 1. East Blue Arc
• 2. Whiskey Peak & Little Garden Arcs
• 3. Drum Island Arc

Having an option to show the season numbers with the names would be nice.
