What to watch tonight?

It’s 9 p.m., the couch is ready, and the question comes back: what should we watch tonight? Here’s a simple method to decide in a few minutes, then a shortcut so you don’t have to think about it again.

5 questions to choose fast

  1. What’s your energy level? Tired? Go for something light and comforting. Feeling sharp? A thriller or a more demanding film might be perfect.
  2. How much time do you have? Short evening: a 90-minute movie or a show with short episodes. Long evening: a feature film, or two episodes back to back.
  3. Alone or with others? With others, pick a genre nobody will object to. Alone, you can take more risks.
  4. What’s available? No point dreaming about a title that isn’t on your subscriptions: start with what you can play right now.
  5. Movie or series? A movie ends tonight. A series is a commitment, so save it for evenings when you feel like settling in.

One last rule: three candidates maximum, and the first trailer that makes you want to press play wins.
