Review aggregate Rotten Tomatoes has frustrated and confounded certain audiences for years. The website exists as a place where moviegoers can get an overview of what professional critics have said about movies, television shows, music, and even video games, but Rotten Tomatoes suffers from being far broader in comparison to other similar sites like Metacritic. Instead of taking the actual star rating or letter grade a critic assigns a season of television, Rotten Tomatoes determines whether or not reviews are positive or negative and assigns a “fresh” or “rotten” rating according to which side of the spectrum is more prevalent.

Because of this incredibly polarizing take on review aggregation, Rotten Tomatoes tends to have quite a few overreactions on any given week. Whether it be a much higher or a much lower review than what a show actually deserves, one can be sure that a Rotten Tomatoes rating is likely pretty extreme in one direction or another simply because they minimize criticism to “this show is good” or “this show is bad.” Let’s take a look at some of the most obvious examples of this throughout recent years.
