7. I've worked out a better way to find good movies on ALL streaming services...

1. The way I choose is to watch the trailer on YouTube.
2. If I like the trailer, I'll probably like the movie.
3. Then I go to IMDb to find out where it's streaming.
4. Then I go watch it.

I pretty much ignore all the suggestions. And when a suggestion does look interesting... see step 1 above.

On Edit: I often spend an hour or so each week watching trailers on YouTube and collecting a list of movies to watch and where they are streaming. The I have a whole week's worth to choose from. I find some real gems that way that I might not have found otherwise, like CODA (which I loved) and Hawkeye (the series) which I got a real kick out of.

I found the rating system useless. All the five star ratings were just lame Hallmark type plots. Pobeka Apr 2022 #5
