Pick the next show to binge together
Choosing a series is a bigger commitment than a movie. You are signing up for weeks of episodes together, so a pick one person is lukewarm on turns into “you can watch without me.” Put the shortlist in a Rankd and let everyone in the house, or your long-distance watch group, rank it. Start the show with the best overall ranking and keep the rest queued.
- Severance
- The Bear
- Slow Horses
- Only Murders in the Building
- Shōgun
- Abbott Elementary
Free. Edit the options, then send one link to your group.
Why ranking beats a regular poll here
- Everyone starts a show they ranked high, which matters for a series that runs for weeks.
- The full order is your queue for the next few shows.
- A show nobody minds beats the one only a single viewer is excited about.
How it works
- Add the question and 3 to 30 options
- Send one private link to the group
- Everyone ranks privately, in about a minute
- You reveal the winner
Tips
- Add the streaming service to each option so nobody ranks a show you can’t watch.
- Mix a comedy or two in with the dramas to read the group’s mood.
- Rank again when you finish, since new seasons keep coming out.
Questions
Does it work for a long-distance watch group?
Yes. Send the link to friends anywhere. Everyone ranks in their browser, and you start the winner on the same night.
Can people see how I ranked?
No. Each person’s order stays private. Everyone sees the group’s final order and where they personally landed, never anyone else’s individual ranking.
Is it free? Does everyone need the app?
Rankd is free and runs in the browser, so there is nothing to download. Friends open the link from any group chat (iMessage, WhatsApp, Slack, email) and rank in about a minute.
