Best movies and shows on Acorn TV right now, ranked
The highest-rated movies and TV shows included with Acorn TV in the US right now. Titles that need a paid add-on channel, a rental or a purchase aren’t counted.
How this is ranked: when a title has at least 5 ratings from Wochly users, its score is their average. Otherwise we use TMDB’s user rating weighted by how many people voted, so a title with a handful of votes can’t outrank an established favorite. Community ratings are still sparse for Acorn TV, so most scores below are the weighted TMDB signal (marked “TMDB, weighted”); green scores come from Wochly users. Availability comes from JustWatch via TMDB and is re-checked every few hours.
