Is there an existing issue for this?

I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Radarr does restrict the search so that if an item is flagged as Adult on TMDB, the API server, https://api.radarr.video/v1/, will not return them as a result.

Radarr also has import list that allow performers work to be imported into Radarr, There are performers that have done both, meaning that the id of adult movies will be in the list of performers.

The Movie endpoint of the API server does not restrict, or have a property that a movie is adult.

Adult movies may make it into a users library when they do not intend adult content. As Radarr is not intended for this I believe the default behaviour should be that movies flagged as Adult should not appear in Radarr, unless the user specifically does something additional.

TMDB have guidelines of what movies should be flagged as Adult, and that may line up with what is legal content in some regions.

There are alternative to manage this adult content.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either

Stop the API from returning any movies (Within the API, so it is a hard rule for all)
Stop it within Radarr and require the user to make a configuration change to allow, the harder the better eg, config.xml
Let the data in but have it flagged as adult content within the add, blur posters etc.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Three options within the solution

Anything else?

I can provide some example if required.
