Ratings: Ratings can be skewed and can completely misrepresent the actual quality of a movie/series

Improvement for the "violence and gore" section in the Parents Guide
I have thought of a possible improvement that could make the Parents Guide section much more useful at a glance. Please separate "violence" and "gore" into two separate categories in the Parents Guide section: many very mild action and horror films are marked as "severe violence and gore" because
