Possible rating manipulation - The Legend of Hanuman

While this isn't nearly as obvious or blatant as some other instances, this Indian web series has a suspiciously high user rating (9.2):

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt13854248/ratings?ref_=tttr_ql_op_4

Right now if you filter the imdb top-television series by animation, then this is the top #4 all-time animated series. 

While it's not entirely out of the realm that these ratings are organic, I have my doubts.  The series is available on Hulu.  I watched a bit.  While it's not *terrible*, it just overall feels extremely mediocre and generic.  The CGI graphics looks about 15 years dated.  It feels like one of those low-budget shows Nickelodeon or TBS might decide to syndicate just to fill out some random tv slot.  

I want to be culturally sensitive, but it seems odd no one has heard of this series.  It has no metacritic or rottentomatoes entry.  Surely, there would be some buzz if this show was that good.

Blatant manipulation. That is obvious on the face of the ratings. No film or show legitimately gets 83% of its ratings as 10-stars.

Hi @gambitt -

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.  We are so sorry it has taken this amount of time to resolve, due to our backlog we currently don't have the bandwidth to work through the investigation at this given time, for this reason we are closing this thread. Again, I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and our staff in charge of the voting system will revisit this at the earliest opportunity.
