I'd say not. The problem is that many 'critics' are just randoms like you and I.

'critics' giving it 8/9/10 out of 10 aren't being truthful.

I love how people are all 'you can't rate a show that just came out!' but critics have done just that as well.

Reading the RT 'critics'[1] we find there are a total of three critics (none of them 'top critics'. We have a 7/10, a 3.5/5 and a fresh score. Somehow that translates to an 84% score at the moment.

Why are bullshit high reviews not considered 'positive review bombing'?
