While I love RottenTomatoes for Movies, I find it abysmal for TV Shows. Here are some shows with a >90% score:

- Almost all seasons of Supernatural

- Seasons 3 & 4 of Veep

- Seasons 4, 5 & 7 of New Girl

- Season 2 of The Flash

- Season 2-4 of Arrow

Now I'm not saying that those shows are all shit (tho they are certainly not in my ballpark), but I doubt anyone thinks of them as 100% shows, in the same sense that Moonlight is a 98% movie.

The problem comes with few reviews (which is also a thing with more niche-y movies), which is probably amplified in later seasons, where reviewers who don't like it stopped watching.

To a far greater degree than the vast bulk of movies, TV shows, especially genre ones, spawn pretty fanatical followers. And, as you suggest, rather than ragging on a series for wasting 2 hours of their life, they just stop watching.

Among the series you listed, I see several that, for me, were basically meh superhero shows I might have watched an episode of and then tuned out. There’s too much good TV for me to bother with stuff that I suspect I’ll be indifferent to in the 5 hours or so if TV I watch in a week.
