Ratings: Show season ratings for TV series.
In general the rating system work good BUT imho the rating system for series could be improved offering the possibility to vote also for a season rating which could be shown (A) in the main page of a series WITH the "overall rating" or (B) in the main page of ratings, which could be easier (you can already rate the single episodes but that rating is not so visible since you can see it only on the episode page).Why do this? Example: a series like "The Sopranos" has a global rating of 9.2 and would easily get a rating for every season between 9 and 9.5; BUT a series like "Lost" could easily have a very high rating for the first two seasons (possibly over 9) and then the rating would start to fall significantly. (IMHO)I thnk this kind of information a little bit more detailed about the series could be helpful.

Also suggested here, might be best to merge them if we can - it is better to give one suggestion one thread as it spreads out the +1s and so it might not get the attention from staff that it needs:

I wish we could sort the "Top Rated TV Shows" by number of seasons/ episodes. This would give the viewers an idea of the time-investment. If I want to binge on a show for a day, I will go with 10-hour-long episodes or 22-half-hour episodes. Any which way, it would be extremely helpful. What do you think?

It'd be nice if we could rate each season of TV show.

Would be nice if I could rate a season of a TV show rather than the entire show or individual episodes

Currently you can rate just a TV series as a whole or each episode of the series.
I find none of those particularly suited, when considering the diversity in style which comes from one season to another. Take for example True detective, which has now started it's second season, which has nothing to do with the first one that the public appreciated and loved. The current rating system forces you to give the series one rating even though there are really two different movie projects.
The episode voting is not much helpful either, as people don't remember what each episode brought to the series, unless you vote a rating right after you've seen one, which i doubt that many of us do.
To put it in a nutshell, the current rating system for TV series works something like if you'd have to give The Godfather part I,II and III just a single rating. You just can't!

Exactly what the title says. Here's an example using "Parks and Recreation". I wanted to find out the highest rated season, so I averaged the ratings of each episode within each season. Why hasn't this been implemented yet?
Season 1: 7.38 (6 episodes)
Season 2: 8.23 (24 episodes)
Season 3: 8.58 (16 episodes)
Season 4: 8.40 (22 episodes)
Season 5: 8.31 (22 episodes)
Season 6: 8.22 (22 episodes)
Season 7: 8.62 (13 episodes)

Less than 24 hours after the Series Premier of 9-1-1, 332 IMDB users had already rated the entire however-many-seasons/episodes-it'll-be show at 6.7. Only 127 went to the actual episode on the website or app to vote their rating, but those folks gave the episode a 7.5.Clearly people who might be impatient or quick to judge are rating entire TV series based on one show. I suppose it's possible that a few may be unaware that you can rate individual episodes.I feel that TV series should only have rating functionality on individual episode pages, and that entire series' ratings should be based on combining those. This will provide a more accurate depiction of IMDB users' overall sentiments about shows.

It's been suggested a lot, it would seem. But it would be an extremely useful feature to have the ability to rate and see a consensus on the quality of individual seasons of TV series.
TV has come a long way, and with a lot of online services releasing shows in entire seasons all at once, that grouping is becoming more and more common. People want to know how the second season of Stranger Things stacks up to the first.
This would also be incredibly useful in reviewing and rating anthology series. True Detective, for example, is widely agreed to have an amazing first season, but a lackluster second. Seeing as those seasons are two completely separate stories, it would be a lot more convenient and accurate to be able to judge them separately.
Hopefully someone on the IMDb team sees this. I think with the current TV climate, this would be a very simple, but very useful feature to add.

Dear Imdb , it may be better if also there is ratings for season . so people can know more about series they like. already we got top 250 TV that i was waiting for a long time . so if you add ratings as per season it would be great. i know this has been posted many times but still if you took actions it would be great. BTW imdb is my favorite site. Thank you.

Rating a tv series is so much more complicated than rating a movie. a movie has a beginning and an end, thus we can appraise it as a whole. Which raises the issue with rating a current TV series; should we even rate shows which are still running, which are still telling their story? an example: Mr Robot. Hasn't even finished its first season, yet has a rating and a prestigious place in the top 250. Thus the accuracy of its rating is overshadowed by its fan following at the time of voting. Its like rating a movie after watching only the first 15 minutes. And to use a show like True Detective as an another example, where each season is like a separate story, and one is completely unconnected to the other. It would be more feasible to judge each story, that is, each season on its own merits.
Secondly, a more hypothetical question: how should we rate a TV series like The Simpsons? Obviously deserves a place in the discussion for most important TV series of all time. Yet firstly, its still going, so judging the entire series as a whole cant be done yet. Secondly, the amount of mediocre seasons FAR outweigh the amount of great seasons now, and yet people love the great seasons so much they will rate the show highly, even though these seasons are like 20% of the entire run. Which supports my aforementioned point, to have ratings for each season, rather than the shows run as a whole.

There's ratings for tv series as a whole & individual episodes, but why not seasons as a whole? I think you can get a better idea of what people thought of a season with it, instead of looking at every episode individually.
