Community Manager Water Bottle Posted September 16, 2013 Community Manager Share Posted September 16, 2013 Interesting. I've always preferred Rotten Tomatoes over Metacritic (who already tracks TV reviews). This is pretty good news. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Cool, although I imagine it's going to be far more difficult to get a decent sample size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) there are probably not enough professional TV reviews for RT to collect. Edited September 16, 2013 by firedeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MovieGuyKyle17 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I feel that TV shows are harder to rate because their a contiuning series and the quality can drop quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fmpro Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 I feel that TV shows are harder to rate because their a contiuning series and the quality can drop quick.Totally agree.. Should they grade it after the first episode or after each season??.. I think the latter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 usually critics only review the first episode of the season, at least on Metacritics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 I think RT should use reviews from specialized sites (even if less known sites) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Community Manager Water Bottle Posted September 17, 2013 Community Manager Share Posted September 17, 2013 Rotten Tomatoes will update the score as the season goes along so if the critical reception towards a show changes, it'll be reflected.

AniNate Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Just launched. It's got a much bigger sample for the cable serial dramas than the network shows, but I guess that's not really a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goffe Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 (edited) why I don't see the TV tab? Edited September 17, 2013 by Goffe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
