[Screenshot_20220316-120716_Firefox] Feels like every single show that has some element of sci-fi just recommends me GoT and Walking Dead, kinda boring when I in this instance wanted to find shows similar to Loki and just got these ones, again.

These aren’t personalized. We use the related items from TMDB if they have them. If not, we do suggestions based on the genre and popularity. Room for improvement though, I agree.
