How to Watch Boruto

Boruto: Naruto Next Generations follows Naruto's son and has a structure similar to its predecessor — canon arcs interspersed with anime-original episodes. Unlike classic filler, Boruto's anime-original content often develops side characters and is considered semi-canon, but manga readers may want to focus on canon arcs. The story gets significantly darker and more compelling from the Kara Actuation arc (episode 142) onward. The early episodes establish the new generation of ninja and can feel slow. Boruto: Naruto the Movie was later adapted into the anime as episodes 53-66 with expanded content, so you don't need to watch both. You should watch Naruto and Shippuden before starting Boruto for full context.
