All crowd-sourced online aggregation is bogus. Every single form of it has someone placing their finger on the scale one way or the other. If it isn't a familial corporation it's for-hire bot farms, perhaps even hired by your competition. Or maybe it's the aggregator themselves, running a digital protection racket.

Instead, go read a full review written by a trusted curator.

We are not allowed to state opinions that do not agree with our woke corporate masters, it seems. What are they so afraid of?

What does woke have to do with anything?

Did you not watch the episodes that are out?

The show is bombed with bad reviews because some people don’t like some aspects of the show, that they find "woke".

There isn't always a trusted curator. Most of the time, there isn't.

Interesting to contrast the IMDB rating with Rotten Tomatoes, not owned by Amazon, which currently has an audience rating of 38%. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the_lord_of_the_rings_the_... In my opinion, Steam does the best job of handling this tricky problem by leaving all reviews up and transparently letting the user pick whether or not to include periods of "unusual activity".
