How these recommendations are chosen

Audience behaviour: Reddit-style co-mentions and pair signals help identify shows viewers naturally compare or recommend together.

Quality control: vote average, vote count, popularity and freshness checks help remove weak or low-confidence titles from public SEO pages.
