Tired of scrolling endless streaming menus and never finding anything? :recommended learns what you like and what you're in the mood for, then hands you five films, series or books that actually fit - and tells you where to watch them. HOW IT WORKS • Tell us what you want in your own words - "a slow sci-fi like Arrival but funnier" works • Or answer a few quick questions: vibe, genre, era, situation • Or just name something you already love • Our AI (powered by Claude) picks recommendations matched to YOU • Every pick comes with cover art, trailer, synopsis, and where to stream it • Save it, log it, or send it straight to a friend WATCH TOGETHER Stop scrolling separately. Start a session, send the link to whoever you're watching with, and you both swipe through the same films - then we show you the ones you both said yes to. Whoever you invite doesn't even need an account. YOUR DAILY PICKS Fresh, personal suggestions every day, based on what you've saved and rated. Not in the mood to browse? Tonight's Pick hands you one film and one question: watch it, or not tonight. WHAT'S MY TASTE TYPE?
