How to add seasons to TV shows
I can't seem to do this right. I am trying to add my review of Season 2 of The White Lotus. When I tried it the first time I clicked on the year - 2022 - and added Series Level because I did NOT want to have my review show up episode by episode which is what happened to me one time. How

Voting Manipulation: "The Chosen (2017)"
There is some very obvious voting manipulation going on "The Chosen", 2017 TV series. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9471404/ratings/?ref_=tt_ov_rt 91% of the votes are 10 stars. This is not a remotely organic voting pattern. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9471404/reviews?ref_=tt_urv You can
