Who has this little self esteem to think these people are watchable entertainment?

Nobody, I actually think the majority of the user score on here are fake ratings, just look at the amount of reviews, 0 (even though I wrote one which hasn't been placed). Then compare this user score the average user rating on imdb, which is a 4.3 out of 10, that should probably say enough. Since my rating of 1 made no impact on the user score at all, that must mean there are a ton of ratings here, I wouldn't put it past them to try and buy a bunch of fake ratings, they're pathetic and attention-deprived enough for it

There are 775 ratings so far & 624 (about 81%) of them are 10? I think we all know that is bullshit!

Btw, took a quick look for a comparison with shows that are popular, and some shows with similar amount of imdb reviews, and it basically says it all..

The kardashians: 774 tmdb ratings, 1300 imdb ratings = 59.5% The boys: 5917 tmdb ratings, 376000 imdb ratings = 1.5% That 80s show: 13 tmdb ratings, 2200 imdb ratings = 0.59% Gaslit: 14 tmdb ratings, 2300 imdb ratings = 0.6%

Basically every other show I'm comparing between imdb and tmdb has between 0.5 to 1.5% of the amount of user ratings, except for the kardashians with a whopping 60%, yet no actual written reviews, something is definitely fishy about those ratings here

A similar thing has happened with the ratings of the godawful Star Trek In Name Only shows by Alex Kurtzman

Seems like you guys are up to some real conspiracy shit there. Get them !!! Btw, I believe this series is popular because of the same reason shows like "Love Is Blind", "Summer House", "The Real Housewives of...." you name it, are.

The point is that according to imdb, which has by far the actual majority of votes, it is not popular at all, and as for considering buying ratings is a conspiracy, it is actually extremely common, it happens with google ratings, it happens with fb page ratings, it happens with yelp ratings.. You can't possibly look at those numbers I previously mentioned and say those add up

Stating facts about garbage having high ratings isn't a conspiracy.

Perhaps you could look up the definition of the word, to not appear so ignorant

I am sorry, my intention wasn't to hurt anyone's feelings. My point was, that you probably should take a look beyond your internet bubble and accept the fact that some people voted this show way up above the ordinary here at TMDB. While they couldn't do the same at IMDB due to that sites bigger popularity, I guess. But these same people might be actually enjoying the show, as in are fans of it. They probably not got paid, they ain't bots and don't belong to the staff that created this mess of a show. They might just like it? You know, people have different tastes. And about "Stating facts about garbage having high ratings...". Calling something garbage isn't a fact but an opinion. The facts are that different online media rating websites differentiate from each other. Which is pretty common...

Well no, you didn't hurt my feelings, don't worry.. Me calling the show garbage is indeed my personal opinion, me suggesting that I wouldn't put it past the people in this show to have pumped up the numbers themselves is also indeed my personal opinion. I am also not going to dispute that there are probably many people who will disagree with me, I actually know a few unfortunately..

As for facts and internet bubbles however, looking purely at the numbers themselves, I'm gonna make it very simple then, both imdb and themoviedb are representative of the internet right? Also you can go to imdb and find many shows there that have an equal amount of votes to their themoviedb counterparts, in which case for most of the shows that have a near equal amount of votes you'll see that the ratings are also near equal.. Now, I assume we can also agree that the higher the number of votes, the more credible the averate rating is right? Because it is harder to manipulate the average.

So, just for the sake of it go to the imdb page of this show and compare the average rating there and the total number of votes to the rating and number of votes here, then just go around and try to find some shows that have an equal number of votes on both sites, yet a different rating, I bet you that will be hard (at least such a staggering difference as this one has).

These numbers look extremely pumped up, the percentile differences I mentioned earlier and the way that deviates from other shows are facts, those are not personal opinions. The average rating on imdb showing that majority of people also agree with me that it's garbage (yes my personal opinion) is also apparently a fact.

That fake reviews these days run rampant is also a fact, me suggesting that they themselves pumped it up is not, it may as well have been some random fan with too much time on his/her hands, but I have a good reason for thinking that.. Most websites that sell services to post fake reviews, fake ratings and/or even fake written reviews is something that is usually boilerplate to facebook, google reviews, instagram pages, youtube likes, etc, but not for something like this. It is however possible to buy these services as a custom package, but that is very very costly usually, and they also usually don't tend to offer written reviews, only the simple click actions, hence the strange fact that even though other shows on imdb with a similar amount of votes still have a ton of written reviews and this show had none is also suspicious.

So again, the numbers (facts) seem to suggest this is pumped up by bots, simple common sense when comparing to similar numbers and looking at imdb, now as to who did the pumping, who knows, could've been them, could've been some random fan. But the numbers seem pumped, and it would take quite a bit of money to pump up to that amount of votes (even though it still pales in comparison to imdb) using a custom social media rating service, aka not something obvious like getfamo. us or something like that. Also many accounts that voted had only 1 or 2 reviews, or they had only given out 5 star reviews, with a few exceptions. Now do I think someone who leaked their own sextape in order to kickstart their career would not be morally opposed to buying a few fake reviews on the internet? Well, yea, but that's my personal opinion, could've been a random fan with too much time and money

i think another reason is the target audience. who watches a show about the kardashians? obviously only people that like the kardashians. same thing as with those hight rated BTS movies. only people that really like BTS would watch a documentary about the band and thats why its so well rated

Or maybe they are just too stupid to write a review other than a thumbs up or 5 stars on a show
