We're launching commenting on our site so you can share your thoughts
At What to Watch we know how important online communities are and we're always looking for ways to encourage positive discussion around entertainment.
That's why we're excited to announce that commenting is now available directly on our site! Yes, you can share your thoughts on the latest television series and movies. What side of the debate are you on over whether you should sing along or not to Wicked in movie theaters? Or what's your theory on the next twist ahead in a major drama?
