That is equivalent to what I tried, but it results in no matches.

If I try

programgenres.genre = 'Crime'

It will match a show with "Category: Crime, Drama" (and a lot of show
I don't want)

If I try

programgenres.genre = 'Drama'

It still matches a show with "Category: Crime, Drama" (and a lot of
show I don't want)

If I try

programgenres.genre = 'Crime' AND programgenres.genre = 'Drama'

It matches nothing.
