The MDL Exploration Challenge

When it comes to MDL I often don't use anything outside of my profile, the feeds and the search page. As a result, I made this challenge themed around MDL and exploring MDL as much as possible whilst finding new dramas. A few people I know liked it and wanted me to post it here so here I am posting it. 

This was heavily inspired by the Drama Discovery Challenge - be sure to check it out!

Rules:

  • The aim is to complete levels 1-4. Level 5 is optional fun!
  • This challenge does not have to be done in order.
  • There is no time limit.
  • You must complete your chosen show for each category.
  • Unless it is specifically specified you have to watch a certain type of show you can watch anything that is on the MDL database for each category.
  • If there are categories you feel you would not enjoy/can’t do you can skip them. Make it fun for you! 
  • Optional rule: Don't use MDL's search feature to locate any show you watch.

If there are any questions, feel free to ask! Have fun!

Edit: Apparently there have been some lovely badges made to decorate your profile, challenge, etc, with! A big thank you to Rien! :)
