Serializd vs TV Time: the Letterboxd of TV shows (2026)
Serializd is to television what Letterboxd is to film: a place where you rate, write and read reviews, season by season. If what you loved about TV Time was the community side and the urge to comment, it's the closest to that spirit.
Checked on July 24, 2026
Serializd and WatchTrail, point by point
| Criterion | Serializd | WatchTrail |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free | Free, no ads |
| Movies | No — shows only | Yes, movies and shows in one place |
| Reviews and community | Its core: season reviews, lists, active community | Present (reviews, per-episode comments) but a young community |
| Calendar and reminders | Not what the app is built for | Calendar + per-show email/push notifications |
| TV Time import | Yes | Yes, ID-based matching |
What Serializd does better than us
- The best experience for writing and reading TV show reviews
- A lively community, with lists and discussions
- A polished interface, pleasant, free, with no paid tier
Where Serializd falls short
- No movies: you'll need a second tool for those
- Release calendars and reminders aren't at the center of the app
- Tracking is designed around seasons more than tick-by-episode
Serializd is the right pick if…
If you only watch TV shows and enjoy writing about what you see, Serializd is an excellent choice — and free, with no hidden catch.
So where does WatchTrail fit?
WatchTrail isn't trying to out-review Serializd. It targets people who want one place for shows AND movies, with the calendar, release alerts and country-aware 'where to watch'. If writing reviews is your main driver, take Serializd.
Frequently asked questions
Does Serializd track movies?
No, the app is dedicated to TV shows. For movies you'll need another tool (Letterboxd, or an app that handles both).
Can you import your TV Time history?
Yes, Serializd offers imports from TV Time and Trakt. As everywhere, only the TV portion of your export will carry over.
The real criterion: your history
Whatever tool you pick, check that it takes your TV Time export — and how. On WatchTrail, every show is matched by its ID, not by its title.
