Finding Out and Keeping Track

[jo]

How do you find out about shows that might interest you? Do you have media that you check regularly (e.g. entertainment-type websites, online or actual magazines)? Is it mostly word of mouth/social media? Promos/trailers on or emails from streaming services about upcoming new shows? Some other means entirely or combinations of the above?

How do you keep track of, or do you keep track of, shows of potential interest, particularly those that you know are coming, but are still months away, or don't have a specific release date, or maybe only a vague release date (e.g. sometime in 2024)?

I follow new streaming releases via mobile app. For everything else, I've got Tumblr peeps and niche-interest blogs that recommend shows to me. Another thing: I really like to browse around and look at lists of new titles or similar titles.

I think what genuinely helps is religiously checking my mobile app. That way, I discovered I'm A Virgo, The Horror of Dolores Roach, and Swarm on Prime alone. All those shows seem to have been ignored by a lot of people. I also wouldn't have known that the second season of Somebody Somewhere had finally dropped here in Germany. (The app is called JustWatch. Not sure if it's available in English.)
