How recommendations work

Movie and TV show recommendations are based on what's popular or trending in Google products, what’s mentioned across the web, and what’s new to streaming services.

If you’re signed in to your Google Account and have Personal results turned on, Google’s recommendations are also based on your activity in Google products including:

  • Past searches and browsing history.
  • TV shows or movies you’ve rated.
  • Trailers you’ve watched on YouTube.
