Which Streaming Platform Should We Add Next? You Decide.

CouchCritic currently supports two platforms: Netflix and Prime Video. But we've been getting the same question from day one — "When are you adding [my platform]?"

So instead of guessing, we're asking you directly.

The candidates

Here are the platforms we're considering, roughly ordered by how often they come up in requests:

1. Disney+ — Marvel, Star Wars, Pixar, and a massive catalog. Disney+ has no comment or review system at all.
2. HBO / Max — Home of prestige TV. Every episode of a show like The Last of Us or House of the Dragon sparks massive online discussion. Why not have that discussion on the platform?
3. Hulu — Huge in the US, especially for next-day network TV. Hulu actually had user reviews years ago and removed them.
4. Crunchyroll — The anime community is one of the most engaged fandoms online. Crunchyroll has comments on some content but the experience is basic.
5. Apple TV+ — Smaller catalog but high-quality originals. The Apple TV+ audience skews toward people who care about production quality — they'd have interesting takes.
6. Peacock — NBC's platform with live sports, sitcoms, and originals. Less requested but growing.
7. YouTube (Premium/Movies) — YouTube already has comments on free videos, but YouTube Premium originals and rented movies don't get the same treatment.

What we need from you

We want to build what you'll actually use. If you have a strong opinion on which platform should come next, here's how to let us know:

• Drop a comment on any Netflix or Prime Video show using CouchCritic — mention the platform you want
• Reply to our Product Hunt launch at producthunt.com/products/couch-critic
• Email us directly at himanshu@batra.io

We'll tally the votes and announce the next platform within a few weeks.

How we add a new platform

Each streaming platform has its own quirks — different page structures, navigation patterns, and content security policies. When we add a platform, we build a dedicated adapter that handles:

• Content detection — figuring out what show/movie you're watching
• Page injection — finding the right place to insert the comment panel
• Styling — matching the platform's visual language so CouchCritic feels native
• Navigation — handling SPA routing so the panel stays in sync as you browse

This takes real engineering work, which is why we want to make sure we're building for the platform our community actually uses.

The goal

Our long-term vision is simple: one community, every platform. You should be able to see what people think about a show regardless of which service it's streaming on. A conversation about Stranger Things on Netflix should include people who watched it on a different service in another region.

Cross-platform community is what makes CouchCritic different from anything a single streaming service could build on its own.

So tell us — what platform do you want next?
