A short guide
How to choose a series
Do the math on the commitment.
Eight episodes of fifty minutes is roughly seven hours. A long-running series with several seasons can be dozens of hours. Know the size of the commitment before you start.
Check whether it is finished.
A limited series tells one story and ends. An ongoing series may be renewed, cancelled or still airing. If you hate unresolved endings, look up the status first.
Decide between a binge and a weekly watch.
Some services release a whole season at once, and others release an episode a week. Weekly shows are great for conversation and spoilers are everywhere, so plan accordingly.
Use the three-episode rule.
Pilots are hard to write, and many great series find their footing by episode two or three. Give a show three episodes unless it is plainly not for you.
Look at where it streams.
Catalogs vary by country and change often. Open the title page to see which service has the show in your region and whether it is included in a subscription.

TV Shows by genre
Pick a genre to see what is popular right now. Each card includes a quick note on what to expect.
Action
High-energy series with fights, chases and missions. Many run in short, fast seasons that are easy to binge.
Adventure
Journeys, quests and exploration. TMDB groups action and adventure TV together, so you will see both here.
Animation
Animated series for every age, from sitcoms to serialized epics. Check the rating, because plenty are made for adults.
Comedy
Sitcoms, sketch shows and comedy-dramas. Short episodes make comedy the easiest genre to dip into on a weeknight.
Crime
Police procedurals, heists and long-form investigations. Procedurals suit one-off episodes, while serialized crime rewards a binge.
Documentary
Docuseries and true stories told across several episodes. A good choice when you want to learn something but not watch a feature.
Drama
The broadest TV genre: family sagas, workplace stories and prestige limited series. Check how many seasons are planned before you start.
Family
Series the whole household can watch together. Look at the age rating and episode length to match the audience.
Fantasy
Magic, myth and invented worlds, grouped with sci-fi on TMDB for TV. Big fantasy series often take years between seasons.
Mystery
Whodunits and slow-reveal puzzles. Spoilers hurt mystery more than any other genre, so avoid recaps until you finish.
Sci-Fi
Space, technology and speculative futures, grouped with fantasy on TMDB for TV. Many are serialized, so start from episode one.
Or pick a mood
Feel-good
Warm, funny and uplifting picks that leave you in a better mood than you started.
Edge of your seat
High-tension stories that keep you leaning forward until the final scene.
Mind-bending
Puzzle-box plots, time loops and dream logic for people who like to think.
Date night
Romance, chemistry and crowd-pleasers that suit two people on a sofa.
Family night
Something everyone on the sofa can enjoy, from the youngest to the oldest.
Epic adventure
Sweeping quests, battles and big worlds that fill the screen.
Spooky
Scares, suspense and the supernatural for when the lights are low.

Ratings, explained
Scores for TV work a little differently from movies, because a series changes from season to season.
TMDB user score
The average of ratings from registered TMDB members, out of 10, for the series as a whole. A long show's score blends strong and weak seasons together.
IMDb rating
A weighted average of user votes from 1 to 10. IMDb also rates individual episodes, which helps you spot a dip, or a standout episode, inside a season.
Rotten Tomatoes
Critic scores are usually given per season. The Tomatometer is the percentage of positive reviews rather than an average grade, so a high percentage means broad approval, not perfection.
Metacritic
Scores a season on a 0 to 100 scale by weighting critic reviews. It is useful for seeing whether critics think a show is improving or fading.
Viewership numbers
Networks and streamers sometimes publish viewership. Treat the figures carefully, because each company counts differently. For example, in our report on Lanterns the finale set a series record, yet a second season was still undecided.
Where to watch
Streaming catalogs differ from country to country and change month to month, so the best place to check is the title itself. Open any series on this site to see where it is available in your region, whether it is included with a subscription or has to be rented or bought, and where to find the trailer, cast and scores. Streaming availability is provided by JustWatch, and listings come from TMDB. Availability can change without notice, so it is worth a second look right before you press play.

Questions
Frequently asked
How are the trending TV shows chosen?
The weekly list comes from TMDB's trending chart, which is based on activity on TMDB. It shows what people are looking up and rating right now, not total viewing hours.
What is the difference between a season finale and a series finale?
A season finale ends a season and may leave the story open for more. A series finale ends the whole show. A show can have a season finale and still be waiting on a renewal decision.
Can I watch shows on Every Movie Plug?
No. We do not host or stream anything. Title pages show where a series is legally available using streaming data from JustWatch.
Why do some TV genres look different from movie genres?
TMDB groups some TV categories together, such as action with adventure and sci-fi with fantasy, and has no separate horror, romance or thriller category for TV. The mood filters are a handy way around that.
How do I report a mistake or suggest a topic?
