You watch the stuff that sounds interesting and maybe don’t watch the stuff that doesn’t? You can base this off trailers, reviews, or just listen to people discussing movies and what they say about them, and if they make it sound like something you want to watch. The same goes for games. I have never in my life cared about a number score or a tomato meter percentage. I have never thought a movie “should” get a different number assigned to them and gotten angry over it. Who cares? That number isn’t actually part of the movie and doesn’t impact the quality of the movie. It’s just some number other people came up with that doesn’t in any way determine whether or not you will like a movie.

I’ve found when I watch low rated movies that they are typically worthy of their low rating.
Sometimes I do find that high rated games / movies aren’t as great for me (BOTW is one example) as the majority sees them.
One example is the zombie genre.
I watch a ton of them and I have yet to come across one where the aggregate review score is much different than what I felt about the film / show.
For sure I disagree with the hatred / burn out that people had with TWD as I iked it to the end.
