TV Track vs Serializd
Serializd is "Letterboxd for TV": a lovely place to write reviews, keep a diary and follow other viewers, but it is TV only. TV Track is a utility-first tracker for shows and movies that tells you what to watch next, when it airs and how much you have watched. They solve different problems, and plenty of people use both. Here is how to choose.

Where Serializd is genuinely better
Serializd is built around writing and community. If the part of TV you love is reviewing seasons, keeping a public diary and seeing what people you follow think, Serializd does that beautifully, with a social feed and lists that a private tracker deliberately does not emphasise. For film fans it pairs naturally with Letterboxd. TV Track has ratings, reviews and comments too, but they live in a private, personal journal rather than a public social network.
Where TV Track wins
As a day-to-day tracker, TV Track does more. It covers movies as well as TV, so your whole watching life is in one app. It computes your next unwatched episode automatically, keeps a release calendar and can ping you each morning about what drops today, and it turns your history into real statistics. It is free with no ads and no paid tier, and it installs the same way on iPhone, Android and desktop. If you are arriving from TV Time, TV Track also imports your entire history, including your ratings and written reviews, so nothing is lost.
