The problem with TV and Movie critics is that nearly all of them are a delusional narcissist. They truly believe that anyone and everyone that listens to what they have to say believes them and agrees. The same is true with most major News medias and journalist. Even when a movie series that makes billions and proves to be a world class legendary hit, critics believe that if they give it bad reviews because they personally did not like it, then the rest of the world obviously must not like it too. They also believe that everyone feels the same as they do about whatever they choose to discuss. And just like the news media geeks, they surround themselves purposely and only with people who do share the same views so that they do not have to be contradicted. If they are however confronted they will give smug remarks as if the person has bad taste or is not expert enough to know what they are talking about. Both of those attitudes represents a seriously low self-esteem problem. And if you confront them with this fact, they will scoff at you and return a childish insultive blow like a stand up comedian would a heckler, never caring about the truth. How many hundreds, or even thousands of times have critics given thumbs down on a movie or TV show and it was still a big hit anyway.

Critics foolishly believe people should watch only what they give good reviews to and only for that reason; but never because the viewer wants to watch what they want to watch. Are you going refuse to see something because a critic told you not to watch it even if you want to see it? Sometimes they are right; but they are wrong even more often. Movies and TV shows were made for the crowd, not the critics. If it were made for critics, the TV and Movie industry would have went bankrupt and shutdown decades ago.
