How to track a watchlist
The value of a watchlist is the queue, not the archive. It answers what to watch next when nobody wants to decide, which is the moment a list earns its place.
What matters here
- Keep one shared list per household
- Three states are enough
- Add the person who suggested it
- Note where it is available if that changes often
- Clear finished items regularly
The three states
Want, watching, done. Ratings and reviews are optional extras that add maintenance. The list exists to answer what next, and three states answer that completely.
Recording the recommender
A title with a name next to it is easier to prioritize and easier to discuss. It also stops the awkward moment of recommending something back that the same friend already told you about.
Series and films differ
A series needs a progress marker so you know where you stopped, especially if you watch in different rooms. A film just needs a state.
