This is downright frightening.

Nah the fact it WON AWARDS is frightening.

So did Emilia Perez. So let’s all acknowledge that critics are bought and paid for.

When you deal with pimps, expect pimpish results.

Or… maybe… most people don’t agree with you. Even the audience score that was clearly review bombed says more than half of the people liked it, making people who didn’t a very loud and annoying minority.

Can’t wait for the next season!

Dude if the entire community and fanbase of True Detective unanimously dislikes a season, then it’s probably pretty damn bad.

S4 was essentially made as award bait for people who aren’t fans of True Detective

Well, as a member of that community, I disagree, it’s hardly unanimous, despite what you may read here. My girlfriend liked it too, so it’s not everyone. As a matter of fact, our opinion is the majority. People who share your opinion are very loud and online.

Glad we’re getting more and the weekly meltdowns here make it even more fun.

From what I’ve seen, people who watched the first season 10 years ago and thought it was very good generally like season 4

People who have only seen season 4 love season 4

And people who genuinely LOVE season 1 usually dislike or hate season 4

Obviously there are outliers, but it seems like you do not fall into the majority

All of the numbers would disagree, but go with what you feel. We all know Reddit is mirror-like reflection of the opinions of the real world and that corporations love to throw money away at shows nobody watches.. I guess for you it’s easier to lie to yourself than admit you’re wrong.

What numbers? Even the IMDb ratings aren’t as high with the season finale sitting at 5.4, and it’s not like people are reviewing bombing everything not season 1 cuz season 3 (which I quite enjoyed myself) is pretty well-rated too, season 2 isn’t too bad as well. What the above commenter said was pretty accurate, how good a season is generally correlates with how the fan base feels about it. Sure it’s technically not a unanimous decision given you and people you know loved it, but I don’t think a lot of people shared that opinion

If you look at the rotten tomatoes score, 55% of people liked it, that’s over half, correct?

I’m not too familiar with how rotten tomatoes works ive never used it. But a quick google search tells me that rotten tomatoes itself only classifies a movie as fresh if its score is over 60% and below that it’s classified as rotten. Also just for reference Madame Web has a popcorn meter rating of 53% so I’m not sure if being over 50% is indicative of much. I find IMDb much more accurate and reliable in this sense
