One request: allow searches by name/role, e.g. performer/writer/producer/director.

For example, when I started to pay attention to these things, I noticed that Greg Daniels show-ran or co-created The Simpsons (during its golden era), King of the Hill, The Office, and Parks and Recreation! So I keep an eye on his newer projects, just in case they end up as defining elements of pop culture for the next decade.

Similarly, past collaborators like Mike Judge (Beavis and Butthead, Office Space, Silicon Valley), Michael Schur (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, The Good Place), Bill Oakley+Josh Weinstein (Mission Hill), give a great way to branch into similar-ish content, especially when paired with ratings, filters, etc. like you have here. I already sometimes go wandering through imdb or Rotten Tomatoes for exactly this kind of information, to build up "family trees" of co-creators+writers of the best stuff, so tools to enable that would be awesome.



I think this is a really solid idea for "what should the next filter be?"


agreed!
