The region is set correctly as you can see. Example TMDb list - TV Shows - Popular.

If you want more control, use discover.

[jurialmunkey]

e.g. this discover path will get you closer to what you're expecting by filtering out shows which aren't English language

plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/?info=discover&tmdb_type=tv&with_id=True&sort_by=popularity.desc&with_original_language=en

And this will help further refine it by filtering out some less desirable genres like Talk, News, Soap, and Reality

plugin://plugin.video.themoviedb.helper/?info=discover&tmdb_type=tv&with_id=True&sort_by=popularity.desc&without_genres=10762+%2F+10763+%2F+10764+%2F+10766+%2F+10767&with_original_language=en
