Solved

No seperating paragraph in plot synopsis

The imdb plot synopsis keeps removing paragraphs so its just a long synopsis in a whole block.

Agreed. There are often paragraph breaks in the editing feature, but on the site they are being removed; there isn't even a space, as above: "these cases are handled by other units and divisions.The viewers are introduced to two homicide detectives"

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0098844/plotsummary/#synopsis

The general plot guidelines do say not to use line breaks, but your own pictured example of a synopsis does include paragraph breaks. Not allowing paragraphs in long synopses is not helpful.

Paragraph breaks were displayed until recently:

I think it would be an improvement if there was a way to reformat a synopsis to put in paragraph breaks. Some of the synopses—e.g., those written for CSI: Miami—are just enormous, long walls of text. This is hard to read, especially for people of a certain age.
