Review coverage

Critic signal strength

Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.

Critic landscape

The critic average is 82 across 21 scored reviews, with a 40-point spread. Critics are far apart on this one.

How to read this

Treat the average carefully. A polarized landscape is where reviewer match, review text, and score deltas matter more than the headline number.

Most scored reviews currently sit in the 90–100 band. 1 unscored review adds coverage context without moving the critic average.

Score distribution

Shows how included scored reviews are clustered across the normalized 100-point scale.
