What to Watch With Friends
By Based team · Updated Feb 2026
The fastest way to decide is to find overlap, not compromise. Start with what you all already like. Most group picks fail because the list is too big and nobody feels certain.
A short list of shared favorites beats a long list of “maybe” titles. It keeps the energy high and the decision quick.
Group pick shortcuts
- Use shared genres as a filter, not a final answer.
- Prioritize what everyone has rated highly.
- Keep the list short and pick fast.
If the group is split, choose the title that fits the shared vibe the best. That keeps the pick feeling fair.
