A little about me 👋 I am a marketing student in Paris.
I love spending afternoons with friends in a
cafe or a park.
But more than anything else, I love watching (.. binging…)
series on my computer on rainy Sundays or any sunny day for that matter 🙈
I must have watched hundreds of shows by now, from romance to science-fiction series.
Often I like to go back to a show I enjoyed. But I don’t feel like watching it all over
again…
I created this website so myself and others could find the best episodes of our favourite
shows.
As of today, I have about 1,000 shows on the website with votes and rating coming from fans.
Hopefully, you can join me from your sofa and enjoy some nice TV!
