Films, TV, books and games matched to your taste
Boxlist shows how well a title fits you before you press play, and where to watch it in the UK and US.
Why we built it
"Because you watched X" only goes so far. Two people can love the same show for different reasons, and want very different things next.
So we score every title on the same ten dimensions as your taste: pace, originality, weight, realism, intricacy, emotional punch and more. Matching the two tells you what fits, and why. How we score explains the dimensions, the method and the data sources.
