Personally, I would feel pressured rating a single episode. Sometimes an episode might be slower but is needed for worldbuilding or plot, and it will later pay off. It feels unfair to look at it on it's own, so I prefer looking at the bigger picture.
I also think it skews the rating, particularly to the negative. It often happens to Japanese dramas, where right off the bat the ratings are super low.
But that's just me, I actually have no inner knowledge of the workings of MDL ratings lmao
Yeah, I don't know either. I guess either way, good or bad, there's always ways to manage both outcomes. I noticed even though the single eps on 10 Liners were on the low side, including what Jadeheart and I thought was a super great EP 16, the overall rating for it is pretty good. An 8.4.
Me, numbers and analyzing things is never a good thing, lol, so I usually keep it simple. I think I'll use it as a way to give an extra reward for eps that really impress me and it can help the overall rating of a series a bit.
BTW, for 10 Liners I see that Italophilia has some edit credits!! Awesome!!
