How this site works

Every show in the guide is a real title on one of the eight tracked platforms, and every fact about it traces to a source. A show page states where it streams, how many episodes it has and how many play free, who is in it, and what finishing it is likely to cost. Where a show has sourced popularity or a reviewed editorial pick, the page carries that too.

Two signals order the recommendations, and both are labeled wherever they appear. Sourced popularity is a view count published by the platform itself, shown with its source and the month it was read. Not every show has one, and a show without a figure ranks below those that do.

Editorial picks are lists chosen and ordered by a person and reviewed before they publish. The “best” lists are these and only these; a list ranked by view count says so in its title. No score is invented: a show with neither signal simply has neither.

Trending is a weekly buzz estimate from public Reddit discussion and YouTube clip activity over a rolling week, measured across the 300 most-watched shows in the catalog. It reflects what is being talked about rather than what is being watched in the apps.

Every show page and cast page carries a discussion, and Find my drama is one for placing a show from its ad. Posting needs no account: a name is chosen once per browser and gets a four-character tag so two people with the same name stay apart. Posts and replies are checked before they appear, and a post that readers report is hidden.

Star ratings are one per device per show, and an average shows only once a show has enough of them. The discussion stays out of search results: posts load in the browser after the page, and the feed they come from is closed to crawlers.

The saved list on My shows lives in the browser it was made in. Nothing about it is sent to the site.

Every cost figure is a modeled estimate, usually a range, built from inputs that can be observed without paying: episode counts, free-episode counts, coin prices and published coin packages. Each carries the date it was last checked, and one older than 90 days is pulled rather than shown stale. The model, and a calculator, are on the cost calculator page.

Each platform page carries a short note on what its app-store reviews complain about. It comes from a read of public App Store and Google Play reviews, dated where it appears, and describes where complaints cluster rather than scoring the app.

A wrong fact, a stale price or a missing show goes to [email protected]. A flagged price gets the show re-verified.
