17. Why the low ratings?

Thu Dec 15, 2022, 08:57 PM

Dec 2022

I checked the imdb rating before Harry and Meagan was even released and the rating was 2.6 out of 10. It is now up to 3.4.

I have never seen ratings for a show or series that low. I usually won't watch anything without a 7 or higher but I've watched most of this and the rating is way off. I don't get it and find it very odd.

I wouldn't call myself a royal watcher but I find it interesting enough to catch all the big stuff. The Queen is one of my fav movies.

WTH does that mean? SheilaAnn Dec 2022 #55

"Can't abide either of them" suggests that you have zero ability to relate. "Snobs" is a slur. n/t Evolve Dammit Dec 2022 #58
