Honestly, this was about time.

For years, “Ozymandias” sat at a perfect 10. And every single time another episode even got close to 10, there’d suddenly be waves of 1-star reviews. This has happened repeatedly. I’ve seen it with Game of Thrones, Attack on Titan, Invincible .... Whenever another episode hits a 9.9 or 10.0, the 1-star reviews floods the rating.

When “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” briefly hit a 10, it didn’t just randomly fall to 9.7. It got review bombed and let’s not pretend a loud section of the Breaking Bad fanbase hasn’t been part of that culture for years.

At some point it stopped being appreciation and started being gatekeeping. It’s like a small group built their own throne at the top of IMDb and can’t stand the idea of any other episode even approaching it. The repeated reactions whenever another show hits a 10 make that pretty obvious.

Now “Ozymandias” is sitting at 9.7, and “In the name of the Mother” is at 9.6. Both episodes are great. But now both are taking hits because ratings turned into a competition instead of just appreciation. A 10 vs 9.7 doesn’t change the quality of either episode. It just shows how messy IMDb score wars can get. Breaking Bad doesn’t need other shows dragged down to prove it’s great.

Honestly, IMDb should filter obvious 1-star bombs (and 10-star spam too). Extreme votes don’t reflect real audience opinion

Why have they made this change? You used to be able to see the reviews without logging in.

(And NO this is NOT low effort ffs - I AM including a message in the "body" - it got auto removed before)

Both sides are are just running both shows ratings at this point.

I visited imdb today with a browser that was logged into an Amazon account and I received two email. One "Welcome to IMDb!" and the other "imdb.com: Sign-in". I go back to imdb and sure as shit I'm signed in. I go to Amazon and log out, then go back to imdb, and I'm signed out.

When they gave me an account I didn't want or ask for, they also thoughtfully signed me up to their junk email bullshit I also don't want.

I did not include Mini-series or series under 20 episodes. Still, I could've missed some, so correct me if i'm wrong.

Fourth film on Letterboxd is Come and See, cool cover but I wish it had the title

I don't like it when people ask a question on Reddit, get an answer and then delete their post.

Anyway, through such a post I found out about this website and liked it. It's easier to get a good overview than any functionality on the official app/website.

Who was the retard who came up with this?

You can´t leave a review unless it has 600 characters, they don´t wanna a review, they want a freaking essay.

Also, there seems to be a snowflake in charge of accepting the reviews now because they all get declined without saying why.

They just give you a canned reply like "It did not follow the guidelines", and if you go to the guidelines page, there are no guidelines at all lol...

Many, many of the recent listings with Roberts included seem mistakenly adding him. If it’s an error what might have caused it?

First they nuked forums. Then the nuke my reviews. Now they don't post my reviews. And now without signing in you can't read reviews.

After I watch a film without signing in I like to do quick reads of reviews, films actors have been in etc. Now I feel like that experience has been nuked.

Oh just sign in? No, if they don't post my reviews what's the point in signing in.

I use to love IMDb. It was my got to palace. But for the last 8 years they seem to be a cesspool of censorship.

They don't want to hear anything. They only want to hear what they want to hear.

If I'm critical of a popular film or a new released film My review doesn't post. Sometimes takes weeks to post.

IMDb has failed.

IMO it's so much worse. Unpleasant to look at and unintuitive to use

i’ve been using it since 2016 and my dumb 16 y.o self thought to press on the little plus thingy after watching a movie (without rating it) and when i saw the movie in my “watchlist” i thought to my self.. yeah that definitely means the movies that i have watched already and fast forward 9 years later i realized i’ve been doing it wrong my whole life

PLEASE TOP THE FORCED LOGIN ON IMDB, MAKES ME WANT TO LEAVE YOUR SITE.

It is currently one of the only two television episodes on the entire website with a perfect rating of 10.0 and the second highest rated episode overall (just below Breaking Bad's "Ozymandias").

Is it really THAT good? The show's premise isn't really my cup of tea, but if it's supposedly on par with Ozymandias, then it must be absolutely once-in-a-lifetime mindblowing, right?
