Hi, it appears that a few users are rating recently released foreign movies and shows with a score of 1.
Could you consider the following solutions to counter this frustrating process?
A) May ratings not display under 10 votes?
&/or
B) To rate a show or a movie, the pilot, any other episode or the movie should be set as watched first.
or
C) Accounts with low average ratings to be investigated?
I do agree with B. I often see shows or movies that haven’t even released yet that have bad reviews.
Hey Terry,
I understand that my suggestions may be drastic.
On the other hand, shouldn’t we only rate what we really saw?
Not all Belgian or French shows can be as bad as “1 - weak sauce because” there’s no dubbing.
Better then to have a way to set you are not interested in a certain genre than pulling the ratings down for Chinese movies because the recommendation system is eventually suggesting these foreign movies too often.
It’s a right yeah! but I believe it has been abused somehow 
As it impacts more my own recommendations and movies/shows I could miss as French/Dutch content will rarely get more than 100 votes (if not on Netflix).
e.g. 1985 - a decent Belgian show, I remember the first votes were a few 1s and 70 votes later it’s rated 72%.
We may not agree but I still hope for a solution or a personalized score.
Couldn’t find how this could be possible with the filters.
There’s no way to bypass or filter out bad results then.
I’ll leave it here. For me ratings should only be used to rate a watched movie/show/episode, and the recommendation system or the scores complexity should be reviewed then to avoid this issue.
Happy to make you laugh! You should try French comedies.
