BooFlix

The name and the network idea

BooFlix was one of the streaming-guide sites that grew up after the big services multiplied. By the mid-2020s a viewer might have series spread across Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+ and Apple TV, and the simplest useful thing a site could do was sort them by service. The original booflix.to put that idea above its rows as a single control, Filter by Network, and this site builds its shelves around it.

The result is a catalogue you can read two ways. Read it by network and you see what each service has made its name on: Netflix's global range, HBO's prestige drama, Apple's thoughtful science fiction, Disney's franchises, Paramount's westerns, Prime Video's action. Read it by title and every series carries its full season list, every episode dated, and every film its running time and cast, with the network shelf linking to it from the title page.

The name has a light touch, a friendly ghost of a word, and the site keeps that tone: a dark, uncluttered page, a single violet accent, and yellow stars under every poster so the best-rated titles stand out at a glance.

How the networks got here

Each network on the row arrived by a different road, and it shows in what they make. HBO was a cable channel long before it streamed, and it built its name in the late nineties and 2000s on drama that network television would not attempt; that tradition runs straight through Game of Thrones, Succession and The Last of Us. The service went through a few names in the streaming era, HBO Max, then Max, then HBO Max again, but the shelf is the same idea: prestige first.

Netflix began by posting DVDs, started streaming in 2007 and made its first big original series in 2013. Its strategy since has been reach: series in dozens of languages, made in dozens of countries, released a whole season at a time. That is why its shelf here runs from Hawkins, Indiana, to Seoul, Madrid and a German small town. Prime Video grew out of Amazon's shopping membership, which is why its originals lean to broad, big-budget action with a film slate beside them.

Disney+ and Apple TV both launched in November 2019, on the strength of very different libraries. Disney had Star Wars, Marvel and a century of animation and began with The Mandalorian; Apple had nothing and began with The Morning Show, building a small, carefully chosen catalogue of originals ever since. Paramount+ grew out of CBS's streaming service in 2021 and found its identity in Taylor Sheridan's westerns and a revived Star Trek. Seen side by side on the network row, the six services are six different ideas of what television is for.

How the stars work

The yellow stars across the foot of every poster come from the TMDB audience score, which runs from nought to ten; BooFlix shows it as five stars, so each star is worth two points, rounded to the nearest whole star. A series rated 8.6 shows four stars, a film rated 6.6 shows three. The exact score sits beside the stars in grey, out of ten.

Scores are most useful with their vote counts, which the title page shows. A new series with a handful of enthusiastic votes can outscore an established classic for a while; the top rated shelves set a floor of votes so that every title on them has a real crowd behind it. As a rough guide, four stars and above is widely loved, three and a half is solidly good, and three is worth a look if the premise appeals.

The front page

The design is measured from booflix.to as it looked in October 2024, read with the capture's computed styles and the site's own stylesheet. The page is pure black with white text. The header is black too, and the hero beneath it fades from black into the artwork, the effect the original achieved with its header gradient; the wordmark reads BOOFLIX in bold capitals in a slate violet, the single accent of the whole design.

Below the header sits the hero, a wide backdrop from a featured series with its title and a short introduction, and a row of pill buttons in violet: Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+ and Apple TV. Under it runs the network row, the tabs for All and each service, the active one filled violet, just as the original's network filter was. Then the rows begin, each headed in large bold white type: Featured, Trending, the latest films and series, the newest episodes, the network shelves and the collections.

The type is your device's own system font, the same choice the original made, which keeps the page quick to load and native on every phone. Buttons have gently rounded corners and the footer is a deep slate with grey lettering.

Reading a card and its stars

Every poster sits on a dark slate card with rounded corners. Beneath the artwork come the title and, under it, a row of five yellow stars with the score beside it in light grey, the same stars and score the original laid over its posters. The stars are the TMDB audience score out of ten shown as five, so a title rated 8.5 shows four and a quarter stars, and the number of votes behind it is on the title page.

The title sits on a dark strip laid across the foot of the artwork, right above the stars, so every card reads at a glance. Tap the card and the title page opens with the story, the cast and creators, the original title, the network and production companies, and for a series every season and every dated episode.

Filter by network

The network row is BooFlix's signature. Tap All to see every series on the site, or tap a service to see its own shelf. The shelves hold each network's original series first, the ones it commissioned and made its reputation on, and the service's own films where it makes them. The networks guide walks through each one.

A network shelf answers who made a series. The Watch now list answers where it streams in your country, which is usually the same service. Sometimes the two differ: a Netflix series may be carried by a local broadcaster in one country, and an older HBO series may appear on a second service abroad. The Watch now list always shows the current options where you are, so the shelf and the list together give the full picture.

Netflix

The Netflix shelf holds twenty series, and it shows the service's great strength: range. Stranger Things leads it, five seasons of Hawkins, Indiana, the Upside Down and a group of friends who grew up on screen, now complete. Wednesday puts Jenna Ortega's deadpan Addams at Nevermore Academy for two seasons of gothic mystery. Squid Game is the Korean survival drama that became Netflix's biggest series ever, three seasons of deadly children's games.

The dramas are just as strong. The Crown tells the reign of Elizabeth II across six seasons and three casts. Bridgerton is Regency romance in bright colours, each season a different sibling's love story. The Witcher follows Geralt of Rivia across a monster-filled Continent. Adolescence, four episodes each filmed in a single continuous take, follows a family after a thirteen-year-old boy's arrest, and was the most talked-about series of 2025.

Netflix's international series are the heart of its catalogue. Money Heist made the Professor and his red-jumpsuited crew famous around the world. Dark is German time-travel at its most intricate, three seasons in a small town with a cave. When Life Gives You Tangerines is a Korean life story on Jeju Island. And Arcane, two seasons of painterly animation about two sisters in a divided city, is the one people mention with the word on their lips when they search for BooFlix.

This year's Netflix arrivals are on the shelf too: the Korean Teach You a Lesson and The WONDERfools, the new A Different World, and the Monster anthology's Menendez story.

Prime Video

The Prime Video shelf is built on action. Reacher leads it, Alan Ritchson as Lee Child's enormous drifter across four seasons of towns with a problem only he can solve. The Boys turned superheroes into a corporation with a body count and finished its five seasons this year. Fallout adapts the video games into two seasons of wasteland adventure with a very dark sense of humour.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan gives John Krasinski four seasons of CIA analysis turned fieldwork. INVINCIBLE is the animated superhero series that pulls no punches. The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power tells the Second Age of Middle-earth, and Hazbin Hotel is a musical comedy set in hell. The Chosen, the life of Jesus told across multiple seasons, has found a home on the service too.

Prime Video makes films as well: Crime 101, Bart Layton's Los Angeles heist thriller, The Love Hypothesis, The Sheep Detectives and the Spanish romance My Fault.

HBO Max

The HBO Max shelf is prestige television. Game of Thrones needs no introduction: eight seasons of Westeros that changed what television could be. House of the Dragon goes back two hundred years to the Targaryen civil war. The Last of Us adapts the video game into two seasons of Joel and Ellie crossing a ruined America, and is one of the finest adaptations ever made.

Succession is four seasons of the Roy family fighting over a media empire, as funny as it is savage. The White Lotus checks the rich into a luxury resort each season, Hawaii, Sicily, Thailand, and watches what follows. Euphoria is Zendaya's high-school drama. Chernobyl tells the 1986 disaster in five devastating episodes, and The Penguin gives Colin Farrell's Oswald Cobb eight episodes of Gotham gangland.

The lighter end has Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the Big Bang Theory spin-off, and the German crime prequel 4 Blocks Zero.

Disney+

The Disney+ shelf holds the franchises. Star Wars leads with The Mandalorian, three seasons of a bounty hunter and the small green foundling everyone calls Grogu, and Andor, two seasons of rebellion told with the seriousness of a political thriller, many people's favourite Star Wars story of all. The Clone Wars fills in the war between the prequels across seven animated seasons.

Marvel has Loki, the god of mischief loose in time, Daredevil: Born Again and Agatha All Along. For families there is Percy Jackson and the Olympians, The Owl House, Phineas and Ferb, back with new episodes, and Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.

Paramount+

The Paramount+ shelf is Taylor Sheridan country. Yellowstone is five seasons of the Dutton family defending the largest ranch in Montana, with Kevin Costner at its head, and this year's Dutton Ranch continues the story. Tulsa King exiles Sylvester Stallone's New York mobster to Oklahoma, where he builds a new empire. Landman is Billy Bob Thornton in the West Texas oil fields.

Lioness puts Zoe Saldaña at the head of a CIA undercover programme, and Mayor of Kingstown has Jeremy Renner running a prison town. For something completely different, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows Captain Pike's Enterprise in the most classic, optimistic Star Trek of the modern era.

Apple TV

The Apple TV shelf is smaller than some and extremely strong. Ted Lasso is the kindest comedy of the decade, an American football coach managing a London football club with optimism and biscuits. Severance splits its office workers' memories between work and home, and its second season made it the most discussed drama of 2025. Slow Horses gives Gary Oldman the role of Jackson Lamb, the slovenly genius of MI5's dumping ground, across six seasons.

Silo puts Rebecca Ferguson in an underground city with a secret. Foundation adapts Asimov across three seasons, and For All Mankind imagines a space race that never ended. The Morning Show and Shrinking are the character dramas, and Widow's Bay is this year's new series.

Apple makes films too: F1, Brad Pitt in a Formula One car, Killers of the Flower Moon, Martin Scorsese's three-and-a-half-hour epic, The Gorge with Miles Teller and Anya Taylor-Joy, and Wolfs, George Clooney and Brad Pitt as rival fixers.

Star Wars on the network shelf, in story order

Disney+ carries the Star Wars series, and they read best in story order. The Clone Wars comes first, seven animated seasons set between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith, following Anakin, Obi-Wan and Anakin's apprentice Ahsoka through the war that ends the Republic. It starts light and grows remarkably dark, and its final arc runs alongside the last prequel film.

Andor comes next, two seasons covering the five years before Rogue One, the story of how a thief became a rebel and how a rebellion is built from ordinary people's decisions. It is the most grown-up Star Wars ever made, and many viewers who never cared for lightsabers call it the best thing in the franchise.

The Mandalorian is set after Return of the Jedi, three seasons of Din Djarin and Grogu crossing a galaxy without an Empire but not without warlords. The film The Mandalorian and Grogu continues it in cinemas this year. Watched in order, the three series make a long and rewarding weekend project, Clone Wars first for those with the time, Andor and The Mandalorian for those without.

Taylor Sheridan's world

Paramount+ has built its identity on one writer. Taylor Sheridan wrote the films Sicario and Hell or High Water before turning to television, and his series share a landscape, the modern American West, and a subject: power, land and the people who hold on to both. Yellowstone is the centre, five seasons of the Dutton family and their ranch, and Dutton Ranch carries it on this year.

The other series stand alone and can be watched in any order. Tulsa King is the lightest, Sylvester Stallone as a mobster building an empire in Oklahoma. Landman is the oil business, with Billy Bob Thornton as a crisis manager. Mayor of Kingstown is the darkest, a town whose economy is its prisons. And Lioness takes the Sheridan style overseas, into CIA undercover operations. Together they are more than two hundred hours of television by a single voice.

Marvel, series and films

Marvel is split between the Disney+ shelf and the films. The series are the stranger, more personal side of the universe: Loki, two seasons of the god of mischief working for a bureaucracy that polices time; Daredevil: Born Again, Charlie Cox's blind lawyer back in Hell's Kitchen; and Agatha All Along, a witch's road trip with songs. Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. ran seven seasons on network television before any of them.

The films on the site run from Iron Man 2 through Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and Deadpool & Wolverine to the Spider-Man films, Sam Raimi's Spider-Man, Homecoming and this year's Brand New Day. Prime Video's The Boys and INVINCIBLE are the answer from outside the house, superheroes seen without the shine.

Science fiction on every network

Science fiction is where the networks compete hardest, and every shelf has something. Apple TV leads on ideas: Severance, Silo, Foundation and For All Mankind are four of the most thoughtful science-fiction series on television. Netflix has Stranger Things and Dark, the eighties nostalgia and the German time puzzle.

Prime Video has Fallout, Paramount+ has Strange New Worlds, and HBO Max has The Last of Us. From the network archive comes Stargate SG-1, ten seasons through the gate, and from the animation shelf Rick and Morty, science fiction as anarchic comedy. FROM, a town nobody can leave, is the mystery that keeps its viewers guessing season after season.

Fantasy, from Westeros to Nevermore

Fantasy is the other great battleground. HBO Max has the biggest of all, Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon. Prime Video answered with The Rings of Power, Tolkien's Second Age on an enormous scale. Netflix has The Witcher and Wednesday, monster-hunting and gothic school mystery.

For younger viewers, Disney+ has Percy Jackson and the Olympians and The Owl House. From the archive come Charmed, three sister witches in San Francisco across eight seasons, and Once Upon a Time, fairy-tale characters cursed into a town in Maine. The fantasy anime, Frieren and Re:ZERO, sit on their own shelf.

Crime, spies and thrillers

The crime shelf crosses every network. Prime Video's Reacher and Jack Ryan are the action end; Apple's Slow Horses is the witty spy story; HBO's The Penguin is the gangster epic; Netflix's Money Heist is the heist that became a global phenomenon.

The network archive carries the procedurals that taught everyone how crime television works: Law & Order with its two halves, the police and the prosecutors, SVU, the longest-running live-action drama in American history, Columbo, where the audience sees the murder first and watches the detective unravel it, and The Mentalist. Suits takes the law into the boardroom.

Comedy, network by network

Every network has its comedy signature. Apple TV has warmth: Ted Lasso and Shrinking, two series about kindness that manage to be very funny about it. Prime Video has Hazbin Hotel, a musical in hell. HBO Max has Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the comic-book-shop owner from The Big Bang Theory given a multiverse to fix.

The archive is where the great sitcoms live: The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad! and Frasier, with Gilmore Girls for fast talk and small-town charm. Any of them is a perfect twenty-minute companion at the end of a long day.

Limited series

Some of the best television on BooFlix is also the shortest. Chernobyl is five episodes, Adolescence four, The Penguin eight and Agatha All Along nine. The Monster anthology's Menendez story tells a real case across nine episodes.

A limited series is the easiest way to sample a network. Chernobyl shows what HBO does best, Adolescence what Netflix's British productions can do, The Penguin how a franchise can become serious drama. Each is a weekend, each has a proper ending, and each leaves you knowing whether that network's shelf is for you.

Weekend binges, one per network

Every network has at least one series that fits a weekend, and they make the best introductions. On Netflix, Arcane is eighteen episodes across two seasons, a long weekend of the most beautiful animation on television, and Wednesday's first season is eight episodes. On HBO Max, Chernobyl is a Saturday and The Last of Us's first season a long weekend. On Disney+, the first season of The Mandalorian is eight short episodes, a single Saturday of space western.

On Apple TV, the first season of Severance is nine episodes, and it ends on a cliffhanger that will make the second season a certainty. On Prime Video, each season of Reacher is eight episodes and complete in itself, so any season is a weekend. On Paramount+, Lioness's first season runs eight. The hours are all on the season pages, and the episode marks keep your place if the weekend runs over into Monday.

Anime for newcomers

The anime shelf holds some very long series, and the length can put newcomers off. The answer is to start short. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood is sixty-four episodes with a complete story and one of the best endings in the medium, the most common recommendation for a first anime. Frieren is gentle and complete in its first season. Demon Slayer is action with astonishing animation, its seasons short enough to watch in a week.

Then the giants. Attack on Titan runs four seasons and eighty-seven episodes to its end. Bleach has more than four hundred episodes including its Thousand-Year Blood War revival. One Piece, at more than eleven hundred, is a journey of years, and fans will tell you it is worth every episode. Netflix's live-action One Piece is the gentle way in. And for younger viewers, Pokémon has been the first anime of three generations.

The directors on the film shelf

The film shelf is rich in great directors. Christopher Nolan has The Dark Knight, The Dark Knight Rises and this year's The Odyssey. Francis Ford Coppola has the first two Godfather films, the greatest pair in American cinema. Martin Scorsese has The Wolf of Wall Street and Apple's Killers of the Flower Moon, a decade apart and both about American greed.

Quentin Tarantino has Pulp Fiction, David Fincher Gone Girl, Frank Darabont The Shawshank Redemption and The Green Mile, Sidney Lumet 12 Angry Men, Denis Villeneuve Dune, Hayao Miyazaki Spirited Away and Bong Joon Ho Parasite. Zach Cregger has both Weapons and this year's Resident Evil, and Parker Finn both Smile films. For a film night, pick a director and follow the thread.

Teen drama and romance

The teen and romance dramas binge fastest of all. Euphoria on HBO Max is the boldest, Zendaya's Rue and her friends through high school, and Bridgerton on Netflix the most romantic. From the network archive, One Tree Hill runs nine seasons of basketball and brothers in a North Carolina town, The Vampire Diaries eight seasons of a love triangle with fangs, and Gilmore Girls seven of the best-written mother and daughter on television.

Prime Video's Off Campus is this year's college romance, and Anne with an E is the coming-of-age classic on Prince Edward Island, three seasons that many viewers rank among their favourite series of all.

A year of streaming

The simplest way to watch everything worth watching without paying for everything at once is to plan the year by network. Keep the service whose shelf you use most as your base, then add one other network for a month at a time when its flagship returns, finish what you came for, and move on. The network shelves show what each service holds, the new-in-2026 shelf and Latest Episodes show what has just arrived, and My List keeps the running plan.

A typical year might start with a month of Apple TV for Severance and Slow Horses, move to HBO Max for the next House of the Dragon, take in a month of Disney+ for Star Wars and Marvel, and settle back on Netflix or Prime Video for the rest. The free, ad-supported services fill the gaps with the long network classics, and the episode marks keep every series exactly where you left it.

Choosing a service

The network shelves make the hardest streaming question simple: which service is worth paying for? Open each shelf and count the series you would actually watch. The streaming service guide goes further, but a few patterns hold.

HBO Max is for prestige drama and big fantasy. Apple TV is for thoughtful science fiction and character drama, and its catalogue is small enough to finish. Prime Video is for action and has its films bundled in. Disney+ is for families and for Star Wars and Marvel. Paramount+ is for the Sheridan westerns and Star Trek. Netflix is for the widest range, especially from outside the English-speaking world.

Many people keep one service all year and rotate a second, adding it for the month a favourite returns. Latest Episodes shows what has just arrived on every network, and My List keeps the plan in one place.

The network TV classics

Beyond the streaming originals, BooFlix keeps the great network series that built television. The long-running shelf holds twenty-one of them. The Simpsons leads, thirty-seven seasons and more than eight hundred dated episodes of Springfield. Law & Order and Special Victims Unit are the backbone of American crime television, and Family Guy and American Dad! the animated comedies.

NCIS, Grey's Anatomy and The Mentalist carry the procedural tradition. Columbo is the rumpled detective who always has just one more thing, and Frasier the sitcom of the Seattle psychiatrist and his brother. Charmed, Stargate SG-1, One Tree Hill, Gilmore Girls and The Vampire Diaries are the comfort rewatches.

The great finished dramas round it out: Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, together the best twelve seasons of American television, Suits, The Walking Dead and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D..

Anime

The anime shelf holds the giants. One Piece has more than eleven hundred dated episodes of Luffy's crew sailing the Grand Line, and Pokémon more than twelve hundred of Ash and Pikachu. Bleach returned with its Thousand-Year Blood War, and Attack on Titan finished its four seasons with one of the great endings in the medium.

Demon Slayer, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Frieren: Beyond Journey's End and Re:ZERO are the modern classics, Fighting Spirit the boxing epic and Kamisama Kiss the romance. Takopi's Original Sin is last year's short, sharp surprise. And Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away sits among the films, one of the highest-rated animated features ever made.

K-drama and Korean film

The K-Drama shelf gathers fourteen Korean series and films. Squid Game leads, then Reply 1988, one of the most loved Korean dramas ever, five families in a Seoul alley at the end of the eighties. Alchemy of Souls is fantasy with swapped souls, Marry My Husband gives its heroine a second chance at life, The Good Bad Mother is a mother and son finding each other again, and Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo is a campus romance with barbells. Perfect Crown is this year's royal romance.

The films are some of the best on the site: Parasite, Bong Joon Ho's Palme d'Or and Best Picture winner, and two of this year's biggest Korean releases, Na Hong-jin's Hope and Yeon Sang-ho's Colony.

Series from around the world

The streaming networks commission everywhere, and BooFlix follows them. From Spain come Money Heist, No One Will Miss Us and the new The Final Problem and My Sad Dead. From Germany, Dark and 4 Blocks Zero. From Italy, Citadel: Diana, the spy franchise's Milan chapter. From Thailand Delusion, from Taiwan and China A Prophet, and from India Shaque: Trust No One.

Every one carries its original title beside the English one and plays in its original language with subtitles, or dubbed, on the service Watch now opens. The subtitles page covers the choices.

Finished dramas, start to end

A finished series is a promise kept: every season is there and the ending is written. The best pair on the site is Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. Watch Breaking Bad first, five seasons of Walter White's transformation from chemistry teacher to drug lord, then Better Call Saul, six seasons that begin years earlier with the lawyer Jimmy McGill and end after Breaking Bad does, tying the two stories together in its final episodes.

Succession is four seasons with one of the most satisfying final episodes ever written. Game of Thrones finished its eight seasons in 2019 and still divides its viewers about the last of them. Suits ran nine, and found a second life years later when a new audience discovered it on streaming. The Walking Dead ran eleven seasons of survival, and Stranger Things brought its five to a close. Each is marked complete on its title page, so you know before you start that the story will end.

Films from beyond Hollywood

The film shelf reaches well beyond Hollywood. From Korea come Parasite, the first non-English-language film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture, and this year's Hope and Colony. From Japan comes Spirited Away, still one of the highest-rated animated films ever made. From Spain come My Fault, a romance watched around the world, and The Platform 2, a return to the vertical prison.

Every international film carries its original title and language on its page, and plays with subtitles or a dub on the service Watch now opens. The Netflix shelf is the richest source of international series; the film shelf is where the international cinema lives.

This year's films

New in 2026 collects the year's arrivals. Spider-Man: Brand New Day brings Tom Holland back to Peter Parker. The Odyssey is Christopher Nolan's Homer, with Matt Damon as Odysseus. The Death of Robin Hood gives Hugh Jackman an aging outlaw, Coyote vs. Acme takes Wile E. Coyote to court, and Mortal Kombat II returns to the tournament.

The rest of the year runs from Zach Cregger's Resident Evil and David Robert Mitchell's The End of Oak Street to Jason Statham in Mutiny, Shelter, War Machine, the animated Swapped and GOAT, and the documentary-maker Lance Oppenheim's Primetime.

Horror

The horror shelf has twenty-six films, and two of them are the ones most searched with the name. Parker Finn's Smile follows a therapist who inherits a curse that shows itself as a terrible grin, and Smile 2 passes it to a pop star on the eve of her comeback tour. Together they run about four hours, and they are best watched in order. The horror guide has more.

Weapons, Zach Cregger's story of a classroom of children who all run into the night at the same minute, was one of 2025's best films of any kind. The Substance, Alien: Romulus, The Conjuring and Beetlejuice Beetlejuice complete a strong shelf, with The Platform 2 from Spain.

The top rated films

The top rated films, every one scored 8 or better by at least a thousand viewers, are the evenings you cannot get wrong. The Shawshank Redemption, The Godfather and The Godfather Part II, The Dark Knight, 12 Angry Men, Pulp Fiction, Forrest Gump and The Green Mile sit on it beside The Return of the King and Spirited Away.

The recent favourites are here too: Top Gun: Maverick, Dune, The Wolf of Wall Street, Gone Girl and The Wild Robot. The top rated TV shows list does the same for series, with Breaking Bad, Arcane, Succession and Severance near the top.

Family and animation

For a family evening, Toy Story and Toy Story 2, Coco, Inside Out 2, Despicable Me, the live-action How to Train Your Dragon and KPop Demon Hunters are all on the site, each under two hours. The Harry Potter films, Prisoner of Azkaban and Goblet of Fire among them, make a longer project.

The family series come mostly from Disney+ and the network archives: Phineas and Ferb, The Owl House, Percy Jackson, Avatar: The Last Airbender, the animated classic, and Adventure Time, ten seasons of Finn and Jake in the Land of Ooo.

Watch now and your country

Every title page carries a violet Watch now button. Press it and a list opens naming every service that carries the title in your viewing country, grouped by how you pay: free with advertising, included in a subscription, or to rent or buy, the free ones marked. Tap a service and the title opens there.

Your viewing country is chosen once and stays in your browser. Change it when you travel and every list follows. The network shelves are the same everywhere, because they describe who made a series; the Watch now lists change with the country, because rights are sold country by country. The two together tell you everything you need.

Latest Episodes and your place

Latest Episodes, the fourth item in the original menu and here too, opens the newest dated episodes across every network, so a returning series appears the week it comes back. Each series lists every season, and each season every episode with its date and a short synopsis. The seasons and episodes guide covers it.

Tick an episode as watched and the season shows your progress; come back and the next one is highlighted. For the long runs, The Simpsons, One Piece, Law & Order, the marks are how you find your way back after months away. They stay in your browser with your list.

My List, network by network

My List, the last item in the menu, is where the network idea becomes a plan. Tap the heart on any title page and it joins the list, which keeps the order you added things in and shows each title with its poster, its stars and its network. A good habit is to build the list by service: everything you want from Apple TV together, everything from HBO Max together, so that the month you add a service you already know exactly what to watch.

The list works just as well for films. Add a director's work, a horror double bill or the top rated films you have never seen, and it becomes a programme you can come back to on any evening. For series, the episode marks sit alongside it: tick an episode as watched and the season shows your progress, so a half-finished series on the list is always one tap from the next episode.

My List, your viewing country and your episode marks stay in your own browser and nowhere else. There is no account to create, and clearing the site's data resets them. The privacy page lists exactly what is kept, and the about page tells the site's story in a few paragraphs.

The app

BooFlix installs from the browser in two taps: Install app or Add to Home screen in Chrome on Android, Share and Add to Home Screen in Safari on iPhone, and Install BooFlix in Chrome or Edge on a PC. It opens full-screen with your list inside and updates itself whenever the site does. The app page has the steps, and the devices page covers the television, where each network's own TV app is the best screen.

The addresses

The design follows booflix.to, and the name has also been typed with io, com and a few other endings. This address is BooFlix; bookmark it or install it. The addresses page explains how to recognise it: the black page, the violet capitals of the wordmark, the network row and the five yellow stars under every poster.

Safe, legal and free

BooFlix is browsed without an account, a card, a plug-in or a download, and it remembers only your list, your viewing country and your episode marks, in your own browser. Every title plays on the licensed service you pick from its Watch now list. The safe and legal page covers it, and the not working page has the fixes if an address or a player misbehaves.

The free movies page points to the titles that play free with advertising in your country, and the alternatives page sets out what to compare in any film and series site, including the questions Reddit asks about BooFlix.

Six evenings, one per network

Netflix. The first two episodes of Dark, then decide whether you are ready for three seasons of time loops. You will be.

Prime Video. Reacher, season one, episodes one and two: a man walks into a town and the town regrets it.

HBO Max. Chernobyl, all five episodes across a weekend, the finest miniseries of its decade.

Disney+. Andor, the prison arc of season one, episodes eight to ten, three hours that convert Star Wars sceptics.

Paramount+. Yellowstone, the pilot, and then the ranch has you.

Apple TV. Severance, episodes one to three, and the question of what the Lumon office really does will follow you to work the next morning.

Questions
