Rate five things you know, from any shelf. Your archetype shows up in about a minute, and gets sharper with every log.

A taste fingerprint: fourteen dimensions, read against every other Bud. Yours appears after a handful of ratings.
Forrest Gump1994Epic, effortless, nostalgic and meticulous.
Not a genre label: how it moves, how it feels, what it asks of you. Every film, series, book, album and game is read on the same fourteen scales, each in its own terms (a record's tempo and sound, a game's challenge and world), and your profile is matched against them.

I did not expect Live from the Lycett Arms to hit this hard. The comedy lands again and again. It is kind to its people, and that kindness is the point. Straight onto my favourites.
Mostly about the performances.
No thanks is the real thing. Plot is beside the point; the inner life is everything. It does not bother with a big world and does not need one.
J.R.R. Tolkien at the top of their game with The war of the jewels. The sheer scope of it is breathtaking. Go in knowing as little as you can.
Mostly about the craft, the story.
Solid, and in places better than solid. Epic in the old sense, and it holds all of it together. Not perfect, but it stays with you.
Mostly about the story, memory.
I finished Bad Thoughts and just sat there for a while. The setting stays sketched, so the people stay in focus. Already want to watch it again.
Mostly about the performances, comfort.
I finished Star Maker and just sat there for a while. The sheer scope of it is breathtaking. Believe the hype on this one.
Mostly about the story.
Kindness as a product. I wanted to like it more than the show wanted to be liked, which is saying something.
