Rating
Can you guys please add a decimal system to your rating system such as making a movie rating 8.6, 7.8, 1.4 etc. I think this will overall shift the balance of rating as it makes it more precise and more realistic. For example lets say you watched a movie and you liked it a lot and it was an excellent movie but not enough to be "perfect", so for this rating you want to rate it between 9 and 10 but you cant because the movie was better than great but it wasn't a masterpiece so I wanna put it around 9.5.
I hope this clarifies on what I'm trying to say but really though I think you guys should definitely add a decimal place for your rating system. And I know this will be problematic and hard as you guys probably had this rating system for more than 20 years but its going to be worth it for the millions of people who use IMDb.
Thank you for reading this and hope you guys add my suggestion to IMDB.

I think improving the rating system is a good idea as the data from the last 20 years will remain as it is but for new data the system could be updated as adding a mathematical algorithm to collate the scores fairer would be best, plus being able to give say a 9.5 rating etc would help people in my opinion give a better score so long as the ratings reflect the no. of episodes being reviewed.
Film reviews generally are much fairer than TV series simply because virtually all of the reviewers ( should ) have seen the whole thing & can review it in it’s entirety, where some TV shows are reviewed way too early to be a fair rating.
