The suggestions tab of your TV library in Emby also has a recent releases row.

Thanks Luke. 

While you're here, I don't think this needs it's own thread, but do you know why this isn't being identified correctly.

IDs for both moviedb and IMDb are saying no matching items.

And it's being automatically identified as some drag race tv show.

What is the library type that contains that item?

Documentaries are not really TV shows/Series.  So from a TV Show content type it cannot query provider designated movies and visa versa.

As @Happy2Playsays this is actualy a movie  or a "TV Movie" so it needs to be in a movies type library. If you do choose to try out Sonarr for TV shows you can also use Radarr for movies. This will allow you to easily see what type of library the file should be in. Also both these apps can rename your files to ensure Emby identifies them correctly by including the TVDB or TMDB in the filename. Both Sonarr and Radarr are of course capable of a whole lot more and the cataloging of your files is just the start.

I nearly forgot to say that Emby doesn't use IMDB references just TVDB, TMDB and OMDB for video files metadata.
