Netflix highlighted a feature that makes finding something to watch a breeze for Tom's guide—gluing together similarly themed movies and TV shows, but these categories are more unique than catch-all terms like "action" and "comedy" and instead "case to individual interests" It combines movies and series with similar themes across a wide range of genres

The categories currently available range from the fairly self-evident "Familar TV Favorites" (a category to comfort TV nostalgia) to a bunch of documentaries centered on bizarre real-life stories, and these are just a few of the categories currently available to subscribers 

Netflix explained the importance of the category, noting that it "helps members find the right TV shows and movies at the moment," and also noted that the category "monitors pop culture trends and creates unique category ideas that go beyond obvious things like genres that draw from current events and social media" It is clear that this approach is created by brainstorming ideas and reflecting on personal experiences
