How to find something similar to a film you liked

When you know exactly what you're in the mood for because you just watched it, the fastest route is to start from that title. The similar-titles feature finds comparable films and shows and ranks them against your taste profile, so you get "similar and likely to suit you" rather than just "similar".

Takes about 2 min

Steps

  1. Find the title you're using as a reference

    Browse to it on Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+.

  2. Use the find-similar option

    The extension returns comparable titles.

  3. Sort by Taste Match rather than similarity alone

    Similarity tells you what resembles the reference; Taste Match tells you which of those you're likely to enjoy.

Worth knowing

  • Similarity and Taste Match are different signals. A film can be very similar to one you loved and still score low for you.
  • Results are limited to what the supported services carry — Netflix, Prime Video and Disney+.
  • As with recommendations, this works better once you have a substantial taste profile.

Questions
