Strange API response - Githubissues

What stack are you using?

(ex: MERN(mongoose + react), DR(django + react), PEN, etc.)

What's the problem you're trying to solve?

I am seeing that there is data from the API for one of the returns I am expecting and it says Array(2), but then when you expand the response, it says Array(0). Another set of data being serialized in the same way and sent back in the SAME response shows accurately...

Post any code you think might be relevant (one fenced block per file)

@api_view(('GET',))
@renderer_classes((TemplateHTMLRenderer, JSONRenderer))
def game_detail(request, gamesession_id):
    authentication_classes=[ SessionAuthentication ]
    permission_classes=(IsAuthenticated,)
    gamesession = GameSession.objects.get(id=gamesession_id)
    game_questions = Question.objects.filter(id__in=gamesession.questions.values_list('id')).distinct()
    # Grab the players associated with the game to send back in the response
    game_players = Player.objects.filter(game=gamesession_id).distinct()
    # game_players_two = Player.objects.get(game=gamesession_id)
    # print(game_players_two)
    game_users = User.objects.filter(id__in=gamesession.players.values_list('id')).distinct()
    # Serialize the data
    game_data = GameSessionSerializer(gamesession).data
    question_data = QuestionSerializer(game_questions, many=True).data
    player_data = PlayerSerializer(game_players, many=True).data
    print('qd', question_data)
    print('player_data !!!!!!!!', player_data)
    print('gamedata', game_data)
    user_data = UserSerializer(game_users, many=True).data
    print('user data', user_data)
    # Send it back to the client
    return Response({ 'gameSession': game_data, 'gameQuestions': question_data, 'players': player_data, 'users': user_data })

If you see an error message, post it here. If you don't, what unexpected behavior are you seeing?

What is your best guess as to the source of the problem?

I truly have no idea...the user data & player data looks the same to me in what's being sent to react, but then they are different when they arrive

user data [OrderedDict([('id', 1), ('email', 'stebbins.e@gmail.com'), ('screenname', 'estebbins'), ('phone_number', '+16155940171')]), OrderedDict([('id', 8), ('email', 'testuserGV@test.com'), ('screenname', 'testuserGV'), ('phone_number', '+18602920670')])]
playerdata [OrderedDict([('player', 8), ('game', 33), ('role', 'h'), ('score', 400), ('winner', None)]), OrderedDict([('player', 1), ('game', 33), ('role', 'p1'), ('score', 200), ('winner', None)])]

What things have you already tried to solve the problem?

I added the auth classes just in case, it didn't change the response. I changed the Player serializer to this - serializers.HyperlinkedModelSerializer. No change.... https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73235402/serializing-model-queryset-showing-empty-ordereddict
