What this does
This prompt helps you discover new TV series that match your taste, attention span, and viewing habits—without relying on streaming algorithms that recycle the same shows or push whatever is trending this week. It turns AI into a thoughtful TV curator that understands you, not just your clicks.
Why it’s useful
Choosing a TV series is a bigger commitment than a movie. Most people don’t want to invest hours only to lose interest after two episodes. Streaming platforms rarely account for things like how much time you have, whether you prefer finished series, or how heavy a show feels at night. This prompt gives AI the context it needs to recommend shows you’re actually likely to enjoy and finish.

I want you to act as my personal TV series recommendation guide.
Here is my TV viewing profile:
- My age range: [your age range]
- TV shows I’ve loved and finished: [list 5–10 shows]
- Genres I usually enjoy: [drama, comedy, crime, sci-fi, documentary, etc.]
- Genres or styles I avoid: [optional]
- Do I prefer finished series or ongoing shows?: [finished / ongoing / no preference]
- How much time I usually have per session: [30 min, 1 hour, 2+ hours]
- How many episodes I like to watch at a time: [1 / 2–3 / binge]
- How I usually feel when watching TV: [tired, relaxed, stressed, focused, curious]
- Streaming services I currently use: [Netflix, Prime, Hulu, Apple TV+, etc.]
Based on this, recommend 8–12 TV series I may not have seen.
For each recommendation, include:
- Why you think I’d like it (tie it directly to shows I already enjoyed)
- The general tone or pacing
- Whether the series is completed or ongoing
- Approximate episode length
Avoid generic or overly hyped recommendations unless they are a strong fit.
If helpful, group the shows into categories like “Easy Evening Watches,” “Worth Paying Attention To,” and “Hidden Gems.”
End by asking if I want recommendations narrowed by mood, decade, country, or streaming service.
How this helps you
Instead of starting shows you abandon after two episodes, you get clear, personalized recommendations that fit your real life—your schedule, your energy level, and your preferences. It removes decision fatigue and makes TV time feel intentional and relaxing again.
