Reply to comment by HandLion in ‘The Peripheral’ Is a Grim Vision of the Future From ‘Westworld’s’ Creators: TV Review by TheUtopianCat

Critic reviews can kindly fuck off, 90% of the time they are not at all similar to the actual audiences reception of it. I've loved many shows with dog shit scores from RT, IMDB, etc.

Rotten tomato scores:

Rosewood (9%)

Prodigal Son (58%)

Blue Mountain State (13%)

Lincoln Rhyme (36%)

V Wars (56%)

Carnival Row (57%)

Those are only ones below 60%, there are a ton that sit around 60-70% too.

Carnival Row is super great except for the rich people romance plot. That part is okay but Bloom’s story is great. Does not deserve that 57%.

Imo V-Wars deserved lower. Not a good show at all even if I enjoyed Ian S in it

I enjoyed it. Was it canceled though? I don't think I've heard any news of a second season unfortunately

Oblivion is my favorite “rotten” movie (the Tom Cruise one). Sometimes the reviews can just go to hell 😂

As someone who watched all of BMS when I was younger that show is extremely overrated. You could tell me it premiered on The CW or Spike and I wouldn’t question it at all

Not who you replied to and not tv shows but Don't Look Up and Henry Cavill's Man of Steel both have 56% and Lucky Number Slevin has 51% on rotten tomatoes

I quite enjoyed all 3 films

Lucky Number Slevin is not a great movie, but it is an entertaining movie that is underappreciated

51% means 1% more than half would recommend the movie, not how good it is - man of steel has a 6,2 average rating, which is pretty solid. Metascore is more indicative of rating through quality than RT. But nothing wrong with these movies mentioned? Perfectly fine to enjoy them, as it is any movie. I can't say I like any of them but they're not terrible. Do you look at those movies' rating and go "yeah ok I understand why" Or is it totally a mystery why somebody would dislike or think "meh" of the movies you mentioned?

Don't look up: self indulgence & on the nose. I liked it but I can understand the reviews

Man of steel: just search the movies sub Reddit and you'll find a lot of decisive stances. I liked it and don't see the hate but there's a lot of non-critic negativity with it.

No comment on the last, I haven't seen.

I’m still surprised by the critical reception “Don’t look Up” has received. I thought it was a banger too

Same. Love it and was cracking up throughout it.

I love a lot of things with bad imdb scores but that doesn't mean they're actually good. I trust Rotten Tomatoes over Reddit's general opinion, anyway.

I've thoroughly enjoyed shows with a fricken 9% RT score. Some of their reviews are just opinion based not factually based. Like one said "there are too many of these types of shows"

That's literally the only reason they gave it a bad review.

So something was poorly reviewed for being unoriginal and derivative?

And you think that shouldn’t be something people are allowed to point out?

Ah yeees, the general audience, more nuanced opinions than the people who's job it is to watch movies.

I admire your optimism but critic reviews are generally on point with this type of genre show.
