    Letterboxd vs The Movie Database Comments

    I think Letterboxd is nice! But it's not a The Movie Database alternative. In fact it uses The Movie Database's database for the movies and miniseries that are on it. Letterboxd is a tracking website, while The Movie Database is solely a database for storing info related to movies, series and mini-series.

    I think it's a nice alternative to The Movie Database because it's as big as it and also includes some movies and series that aren't on The Movie Database, like indie web-series and movies.
