It depends. I think sometimes the joke goes over everyone’s head and then they catch up. Like a horribly rated comedy but the joke was that it was horrible and they leaned into it. But I don’t look at the ratings other than me looking and going “well I didn’t expect that” and moving on.

I really can’t remember a rating I remember. I know word of mouth. Like most of my coworkers didn’t care for Sinners but I thought it was decent. Same with One Battle After Another. I thought it was excellent. But it seems that most of the Internet thinks it’s crap.
