Summary: Letterboxd is the cinephile's home — the best movie diary out there, with reviews, lists, and a massive community. But it's focused on movies: it doesn't track shows episode by episode and it doesn't import TV Time. Episodary brings shows and movies together, marks each episode, faithfully imports the official TV Time export, and rebuilds stats, badges, and Wrapped. TV Time shut down on July 15; if you saved your export, you can still bring it in.

When Letterboxd is the best choice
If your passion is cinema — logging every movie you watch, writing polished reviews, building themed lists, and talking with one of the biggest cinephile communities in the world — Letterboxd is unbeatable, and it does it with an aesthetic that has become a reference. For a movie diary, it's home.
When Episodary is the best choice
If your TV Time history is made of shows — seasons, episodes, marathons — Letterboxd simply doesn't keep up with that. Episodary does: it marks each episode, faithfully imports the official TV Time export (real dates, episode counts, favorites, reactions, and comments), rebuilds stats, badges, and Wrapped, shows where to watch each title, and opens up the spoiler-free community per episode. It also brings shows and movies together in one place, with a broad catalog (telenovelas, K-dramas, anime, reality TV, web series) and an interface available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, Italian and French.
Verdict
Movie diary, reviews, and a cinephile community: Letterboxd. Migrating your show history from TV Time faithfully — episodes, badges/Wrapped, shows and movies together: Episodary. In practice, plenty of people use both: Letterboxd for movies, Episodary to reunite with their shows. Also check out the full comparison and the step-by-step export guide.
