Save Searches & Discover Filters

Give users the ability to create and manage their own personal tag lists. These tags could then be applied to their watchlists (and, in the future, their collections) to help organize content in ways that are meaningful to them—such as “Rewatch Favorites,” “For Halloween,” or “Family Night.”Tags would also be visible to others when viewing someone’s public lists or collections, adding a layer of personalization and discovery.This feature would let users express their taste more clearly and make their lists feel more curated and shareable.
