Underrated shows and films with less than 1000 watchers
This list is for shows and films that are underrated and don’t have many watchers*. A lot of us (me included) tend to pick titles with high ratings, lots of views, or popular actors/actresses, which means lesser known shows get overlooked. I’ve stumbled upon shows with low watcher counts that I ended up loving.
Please add shows you enjoyed that deserve more attention, have under 1,000 watchers**, and ideally easy to find to watch with English subtitles. The goal is to help people discover underrated, under appreciated, and under recommended titles.
* On desktop, watchers are shown under ratings.
**I will check the list semi regularly, and if a show has more than 1000 watchers, I’ll remove it.
