Series Watcher

Overview

A Python script that uses the MovieDB API to gather data on TV series and email a weekly summary: what aired in the past week, what’s coming in the next. Configured by editing a list. No UI, no settings page.

It’s the kind of script that exists because the alternative is checking five different streamers on a Sunday evening. The work is so mechanical that the question is why isn’t the computer doing it?

Stack

Python plus the MovieDB API, Pandas for the date math, and smtplib for delivery.
