Letterboxd for Shows: What to Use Instead
By Based team · Updated Feb 2026
Letterboxd is great for movies, but shows are different. A series is a bigger commitment, and the decision feels heavier. You want fewer options and better reasons, not a long list.
A great show pick feels confident. You should be able to decide in minutes, not in a long debate with yourself.
Why show picks need a different tool
- Shows are a time commitment, so the pick must fit your mood.
- The pacing matters more than the genre label.
- You need fewer, better options to start a series.
If a show does not match your pace, you will drop it fast. That is why the pick matters.
