Find Something to Watch
Stop scrolling through streaming menus. Preon TV's Find Something to Watch wizard uses AI to surface TV shows and movies that match your mood, your reference shows, and the time you have — in seconds.
How it works
Open the wizard and answer a few short prompts: are you looking for a TV show or a movie? What vibe are you in — comfort rewatch, edge-of-your-seat, something funny, something smart? Are there shows or movies you'd point to and say "more like that"? Hit Find Suggestions and you'll get a personalized list of titles you can click straight into. Don't love the picks? Hit More Suggestions for a fresh batch.

Why it works
Preon TV combines a deep TV/movie metadata graph (TVMaze, TheTVDB, TMDB) with a user-aware recommendation layer. The AI considers what you already watch, what your friends recommend, what's trending in the community, and the specific reference titles you give it. The result is recommendations that actually match the vibe you asked for — not algorithmic noise.
Frequently asked questions
How does Preon TV help me find something to watch?
Preon TV has an AI-powered 'Find Something to Watch' wizard that asks a few quick questions — what kind of mood you're in, which shows or movies you're using as a reference, what genres you like, how much time you have — and returns a curated list of TV shows and movies you'll likely enjoy. You can refine and re-roll suggestions until something clicks.
Can I save what I want to watch?
Yes. Every user has a Watch Queue — a non-deletable system list — plus unlimited custom watchlists. You can build ranked lists, timeline lists, and watch-order lists for shows, movies, episodes, or even characters. Lists can be shared by URL and added to clubs.
Can my friends recommend shows to me?
Yes. Recommendations are first-class on Preon TV. Friends and club members can recommend specific shows or quizzes directly to you, with personal context attached. Recommendations show up in a dedicated section of your profile.
Does Preon TV know what's currently streaming?
Preon TV pulls show and movie metadata from TVMaze, TheTVDB, and TMDB and surfaces network and streaming-service information where available, so you can see where to watch a recommendation.
What if I'm an admin or moderator looking for show ideas?
Preon TV moderators have access to a 'Find Something to Watch' admin wizard with extra controls for sourcing reference shows, filtering by tone, and importing new titles into the platform on demand.
