100% from who? "Critics" have proven a thousand times over they're just morons and/or paid shills.

    Are you expecting S02 to be terrible, or something?

    No. Just pointing out the massive flaw of saying it has 100% reviews on RT. The vast majority of people who cite RT only cite the critics, which again, have proven to be brainless sellouts.

    So you’re also implying that the “Audience” score on there is a measure of quality?

    If you’re here to just say all sentiment metrics are bullshit, then, I guess good job spreading the depressing news. You’re saying to trust nothing and no one, especially in aggregate, about product reviews.

    Individuals are shills, paid influencers, etc, and trying to aggregate to compensate for that is just bullshit, in your eyes.

    No, it's not a measure of quality. Though it IS a more accurate measure of general audience reaction.

    My opinion is that the critics are talking about product quality, and that’s what pisses people off. Setting aside actual proven paid shills, of course. And that the audience score is about audience reaction, and not about the quality of the product.

    People hate being told they like low quality content.

    lol no. So many critics absolutely love crap with the lowest quality writing I've seen in decades. They do not review on quality unless it's subjective, "this movie was so pretty!" type BS.

    What one person thinks of as 'quality' can be very diferent from another. Even if people are being as objective as possible (and again, critics are not), different people value different qualities differently.

    The likelihood of any content being 100% is impossible.

    I used it all of the time before it was bought out by Hollywood and became useless.

    Some critics are good, some are bad. Some audience reviews are genuine and helpful, some are review bombs from people who didn't even watch. Pretending either of these groups of individuals behave as some sort of monolith is rather silly.

    you do know 100% rotten tomatoes score just means all reviews are positive, right? it doesn't mean they all rate it as a perfect 10/10.

    That in no way refutes my point that 'critics', especially ones on RT, are often either idiots looking at one aspect (see the love for the sequel trilogy), or idiots who are shilling for the corporations that made the thing.

    Getting early access to a product does not give me hope that these critics are fair, unbiased, or not shilling to keep future early access.

    The scores on these prestige streaming shows are always bullshit. They're usually based off just a handful of critics who saw the first few episodes. These shows are usually front-loaded with quality and then fall apart mid or late in the season, so the scores start great and by the time bad reviews come in most people have moved on.
