TV Series Vs. TV Specials?

Wondering how Criticker works, or have a question that doesn't seem to fit under requests or bugs?

TV Series Vs. TV Specials?

Post by CosmicMonkey »

Currently on Criticker, there is any ability to rank Sherlock categorized as a 'TV Series', as well as the ability to rank each individual episode (eg. "A Scandal in Belgravia"), which are all categorized as 'TV Specials'. Ditto for Black Mirror, and possibly other British series that I haven't noticed yet.

It seems redundant to me to be able to rank the same episodes twice: once individually and once as part of a series. Are other users bothered by this, or is it just me? Is there some way to reconcile the two, or if no one else seems annoyed by it should we just leave it as is?

I think a lot of the individual episodes listed were from before criticker allowed tv shows to the database. I think its kinda dumb but its a vestige from an era gone by and I just try to accept its existence, like institutionalized racism or Digiorno pizza.
