Seth MacFarland created a show called 'The Orville'. The first two seasons were a legitimate attempt at a Science Fiction space show. In Season 3, the series veered wildly off-track into queer/trans gender/gay marriage/gender reassignment stuff. Had nothing to do with SciFi anymore. It was all about gay and transgender issues.
Even though most of the episodes were nothing more than an After School Special on so called 'gay rights', Rotten Tomatoes reviews still put it as one of the best science fiction series ever written in the history of the world. Rotten Tomatoes reviews are not to be trusted. They are all just PC nonsense.
When you mention Rotten Tomatoes, I recall two cases in particular.
The first was
A Little Late with Lilly Singh, a way-in-the-middle-of-the-night talk show NBC aired for a couple of years. This show was cringe-inducingly bad. But the professional critics raved on and on about it, mainly because its host was a bisexual South Asian-Canadian. 100% critic's score, 25% audience score.
The other was the beloved
A Charlie Brown Christmas. For years, its critic's score was 96%, one of the most acclaimed TV specials ever—the lone negative review being a 2/5 star review from a Jewish TV/movie critic in LA (but really, that show isn't for his audience anyway). But then two years ago, Rotten Tomatoes decided to throw in a review from a podcast called "N(word white folks can't say or type)s Spoiling Movies" that was solely designed as a hatchet job on the special—AND, they counted both hosts' hatchet work as separate reviews, driving down the score to 83%.
Like any media organization, Rotten Tomatoes has increasingly turned to pushing narratives.
