My rating system is kinda of non-intuitive so here's a breakdown:
10: The very best thing(s) I've ever watched. Zero flaws, a perfect story, an emotional masterpiece.
9: Amazing. Very impactful, very strong, very engaging, but missing just that little bit of extra.
8: Good. Solid and enjoyable, but not overly impressive. Still great though.
7: Average. Doesn't do anything particularly impressive (usually), and/or has something major holding it back.
6: Below average. Starting to border on boring, and has significant flaws that hinder it.
5: Neutral. About as exciting as watching a news report. I neither liked nor disliked it.
4: Pretty bad. Somewhat of a waste of time, but at least it tried and was almost worth watching.
3: Terrible. Too many flaws and issues to recover from.
2: I wish I could unwatch this.
1: Literally the single worst thing I've ever seen in my entire life.
As you can see, I've kind of made it a scale from -4 to +5, with a score of (5) being equivalent to 0, neither positive nor negative.That's why my scores seem heavily skewed upwards around to 8 mark; I usually drop shows that I dislike to the point where I'd rate them that poorly.
I generally try to rate things on a sliding scale including the decimal intervals, so the above benchmarks are just guidelines, really, rather than objective categories.
I don't rate things in range of 0.0-0.9 because that rounds down to 0.0 on AMQ and just shows up as Completed, rather than as a numerical rating.
