Watch-order guides for big film & TV franchises

Watching great TV and film in the right order, and figuring out where you can actually stream it. No corporate team, no sponsored rankings — just carefully researched guides written by one person who genuinely enjoys getting this stuff right.

The problem, drawn

Same films. Two ways through.

Every guide answers both, and says which one I'd pick.

The guides

Four franchises, untangled.

Timelines split, prequels arrive years later, spin-offs cross over, and streaming rights move around constantly. Each guide gives you a recommended order, the alternatives, and the reasoning behind both.

Method

How these guides are made.

Unglamorous, and deliberately so. Nothing here rests on anyone's authority — every claim is something you can check against the films themselves.

No pretending

Honest about what this is.

An independent site run by one person, not a large publisher. It's small and still finding its feet. What you get in return is that every recommendation here is my own, unpaid and unsponsored. If a guide is ever out of date or wrong, that's on me to fix — and I'd rather have four guides I stand behind than four hundred I don't.

Editorial line

What you'll never find here

  • Sponsored guides or paid placements
  • Affiliate links dressed up as recommendations
  • Audience numbers I can't prove
  • A "team of experts" that doesn't exist
  • A where-to-watch table that's wrong by next month
