Peacock runs on two engines: comfort and freshness. On one side, the NBC vault — the sitcoms and dramas people rewatch like weighted blankets. On the other, Universal's film pipeline, which sends big theatrical releases to the service surprisingly fast. The trouble is that a home screen can't know which Peacock you need tonight — the familiar one or the new one — so it shouts about everything at once and answers nothing.
FlickPicker asks, then delivers. In a comfort mood? Filter Peacock's catalog by genre and let ratings surface the sitcoms and classics worth revisiting. Hunting something new? See which recent Universal films have landed on the service in your region, with Rotten Tomatoes and IMDb scores and trailers to vet them fast. FlickPicker even flags what's free with ads versus subscriber-only — and when the household can't agree, a swipe room turns the standoff into a match.

Does FlickPicker know what's on Peacock's free tier?
Yes — availability labels distinguish free-with-ads titles from subscriber-only ones, localized to your region and refreshed continuously.
Can two of us stop arguing over rewatch versus something new?
That's what swipe rooms are for. You each vote privately on the same Peacock deck, and the first mutual yes is the answer — no debate required.
