28 Movie and Show Recommendations That’ll Destroy Any Algorithm

Streaming services love to make recommendations, but they’re notoriously off-the-mark. So we asked our readers to remedy that by recommending a lesser-known or underrated movie or show that people will like, based on the fact that they like something similar.
