Things I plan to watch go on my watchlist, ever since I joined in 2013. For the last two years I have been trying to work on more specific lists, such as:
- Comedies and dramas with multiple acting Emmy nominations (ranked by number of noms)
- Award season lists, with shows and movies to watch out for
- “Challenge” lists, like movies from different countries or a horror movie for every day of October
I think lists are a very interesting feature to have, but they feel very “polluted” in here, with lots of “2024 releases” and whatnot lists, instead of “best of 70’s sci-fi” or “biggest oscar snubs”. I’d say this stems from two things: (1) lists being public by default; (2) lack of a list discovery page/feed/algorithm. Yes, I do know the Discover tab has featured lists, but it is still limited.
I’d suggest something similar to what already happens inside each title’s page: the most liked public lists featuring that item are shown first. But instead of back tracking from the title’s page to the list, I think it would be interesting to see a tab of popular/trending/most saved lists and being able to find new shows and movies just by browsing list titles.
