About

Enter the name of a movie or television show in Should I Watch This? to retrieve information that can help you decide if it deserves your viewing time. Instead of depending on a locally maintained catalog, the command-line tool asks internet services for current title details. This gives Linux users a terminal-based way to investigate a possible film or series without leaving their command-line workflow.

The program uses the OMDb API to obtain basic information about the selected movie or show. It also collects ratings from IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, and Metacritic, placing several outside opinions alongside the title details. Users can compare these sources during one command-line query rather than checking each rating service separately. Should I Watch This? evaluates viewing choices; it does not play or edit video.

It suits viewers choosing something for a movie night, deciding whether to start a series, or screening unfamiliar titles from a terminal. Alexis Reigel develops the open-source software for Linux users who prefer concise, text-based media lookups. Version 1.10.0 requires Linux with snapd and is built for x86_64, also known as amd64, systems.

Requires Linux + snapd · Architecture: x86_64 (amd64)
