We are now finished with season 5 (thank god) and now it is time for the Rotten Tomatoes round up

I believe that a certain number of critics must post a review before an episode (and season) are given either the fresh or rotten tag.

For example, episode 15 has only garnered 9 posted reviews therefore an "official" RT consensus has not been given. BUT since all 9 critics gave a green splat we can just go ahead and call that one a rotten 0%

What I did find interesting this morning is that season 5 as a whole was hanging on to a 60is% overall rating which still kept it in the red tomato zone. This was due to those critics posting their views early on in the season. But this morning one more review was posted for the season as a whole and it is now sitting at 58% rotten. I do wonder if now that the season is over if more critiques will be posted on the season as a whole and how that will change the so called tomato-meter.


EDIT: As of 2:30 p.m. 9/30 the stats have changed in an interesting way:

Above you notice that there are 14 critic ratings give the meter a 58% rating. 13 of these 14 ratings were posted after the first episode of the season.

Now that the season has ended there are now only 9 ratings giving the meter a 59% rating. The assumption being that 5 earlier reviews that were more than likely positive have been deleted since last night episode (though I know that Erik Kaines has also been deleted and his review of the season was not favorable even after only watching one episode LOL)

 

*Will update when reviews have been posted for the season finale

Rotten Maters update (rating is in either red/fresh or green/rotten). Writers of each episode also listed.

501 - Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum 94% (of which I disagree with so much. It was nowhere near the quality of episodes we got from season 9 of TWD)

502 - Alex Delyle 62%

503 - Ashley Cardiff 83%

504 - Samir Mehta 75%

505 - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum 64%

507 - Richard Naing 36%

508 - Michael Alaimo 54%

509 - David Johnson 64%

510 - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum 50%

511 - Mallary Westfall and Alex Delyle 46%

512 - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum 36%

513 - Ashley Cardiff and Nick Bernardone* 93%????!!!!!! Who the f*ck is reviewing this shit????

514 - David Johnson - 50%

515 - Michael Slaimo and Samir Mehta - 17%

516 - Tweedle Dee & Tweedle Dum - 23% (as of 13 critics reviews Monday 9/30 @ 2:20 pm CST)

 

Clearly this guy was not watching the same show the rest of us were LOL. Intense? Really? Maybe some of the commercials were intense

Intense Season 5 finisher. Who knows what Season 6 will hold.

13 of the 14 reviews for the season as whole were submitted within the first 1-3 episodes of season 5. All the reviews posted with the exception of one review were posted on June 18 2019. We had yet to reach the summit of suckage at that point LOL.

The audience ratings for the season as a whole have been submitted and calculated with each passing episode (notice that 105 ratings from users have been submitted since 06/18/19 through present day)

Interesting development: This morning, as you can see in the screen shot I posted, there were 14 critic reviews for the season with a rating of 58%. Now their page on RT only shows 8 critic reviews and the rating is now at 59%. So the assumption can be that some of those critics who had posted positive reviews early on in season 5 have now deleted those same reviews since the season is now over.

Tuesday (Oct 1) edit: Season overall rating stands at 55% from 9 critics.
