 * well, let me bring some consensus possibilities to weight.
 * Right now this area is only stating the professional critics view and not the audience critic view on the same website about the same show. There we have over 25.000+ ratings with a score of 38%.
 * Maybe it could be written:
 * The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a Score of 83% approval by critics for the first season based on 489 reviews in contrast to the Audience score of more than 25.000 ratings and a score of 38% approval.
 * same for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lord_of_the_Rings:_The_Rings_of_Power_season_1#Reception

 * Thx for this link.
 * To quote the rule: "Review aggregation websites such as Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic are citable for data pertaining to the ratio of positive to negative reviews;" While it is correct, that we shouldnt mention the user reviews by these rules, it is not impossible to mention the contrast to these public user views to the prof. score.
 * Maybe it could be written:
 * The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a Score of 83% approval by critics for the first season based on 489 reviews in strong contrast to the negative Audience score. ErikWar19 (talk) 02:12, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I think in context the bit you quote above is about the ratio of positive critical reviews to negative. Later in the section, it also says: do not include user ratings submitted to websites such as the Internet Movie Database, Metacritic, or Rotten Tomatoes (including its "Audience Says" feature), as they are vulnerable to vote stacking and demographic skew.  If you can find this sort of thing mentioned in a reliable source, then possibly.  But as written I would object to your sentence as being too close to WP:SYNTH.  Cheers.

 * We can't just say that the audience score is negative as that implies that we think it is a reliable measure of the series' audience. The point of WP:USERG is that they are not reliable. What we can do is include commentary from reliable sources discussing the audience score if they think it is noteworthy, which we do already have at The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power season 1. - adamstom97 (talk) 05:37, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
