How to
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".

Steps
Find the title you're using as a reference
Browse to it on Netflix, Prime Video or Disney+.
Use the find-similar option
The extension returns comparable titles.
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.
