re: Netflix's New Rating System SUCKS!

UNLESS, Netflix manipulates the scores on their original content to make them seem better so more people watch them. But in that case, I guess they could just remove the RT score from those.

I don't know about inflating on their content, but they're manipulating ratings in the hopes of you watching more content overall. An RT score would conflict with the intent of their rating system. They'd be showing you a thumbs up and a splat, and you wouldn't know what to think. (Unless you knew exactly how both rating systems work... Then you'd know that they're telling you, "Most critics would recommend that you NOT see this movie, but it appears that you like shitty movies, so you decide.")
