When TV Time shut its doors, a lot of us lost the one place that held years of watching. I built Deadman Reef so that history didn't have to sink with it. If you're coming from TV Time, here's an honest look at what feels familiar and what's genuinely new.
The short version
Deadman Reef keeps the parts of TV Time people actually relied on: episode-by-episode tracking, ratings, a profile with your stats, and discussion in the comments. And it adds a proper import so your old data comes back, plus games and books alongside your shows.

Bringing your history across
This is the part people worry about most, so I want to be clear: you upload your TV Time export file on Deadman Reef, and your watch history, ratings and lists come back, each series set right where you left off. It takes minutes, not an evening of re-adding shows by hand.
What's different on purpose
Deadman Reef isn't trying to be a clone. It's built for people who finish the season: the design stays quiet, Continue Watching only shows episodes that have actually aired, and your games and books live on the same shelf as your shows. If you tracked more than just TV, it's all in one harbor now.
Where to start
If you're moving over, start with the import and get your history home first, then explore. You can come aboard here, and you can always see what's shipping next in the Captain's Log.
