Why Don't We Care About The Rotten Tomatoes Scores Of TV Shows?
Found on Slashdot on Monday, 27 August 2018
Why do we never utter sentences like "'Cobra Kai' has been certified 100% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes?" or "'Stranger Things'" was rated 8.9 out of 10 on IMDb"? It's not because the reviews of TV shows aren't aggregated by these websites -- they are. Contrary to what you might think of IMDb, given that its name is Internet Movie Database, TV shows also occupy an essential, if relatively smaller, place than movies there. And the same thing goes for Rotten Tomatoes.
Such reviews don't work well because "de gustibus non est disputandum".
