How do you select your stories?

We work with curators from major arthouse production companies and the top film festivals who help shape and guide the goby tv viewing experience, ensuring everything you watch meets a high standard of quality, creativity, and storytelling.

Why don’t you have "normal" categories?

Our goal at Goby TV is to cultivate an experience, not just a point and click library.

Instead of traditional categories, we offer curated viewing paths centered around the mood you’re in right now. This is the best way to truly enjoy studio free stories. Rather than dazzling you with excess, we focus on intention, helping you avoid doomscrolling and move straight into a more rewarding viewing experience.

Big studios are great at spectacle, but spectacle alone can leave you feeling empty. Like empty calories, it fills time without leaving much behind. Goby TV is built to feel different.

If you’re in the mood to explore on your own, you still can. You can use and combine filters to find specific genres like comedy or drama and create your own path through the Goby TV catalog.

It’s all about watching with intention. Your mood, your moment, your experience.
