VIKI, please remove ratings! It's 100% useless!

@alessandrina I can respect that people want to read/write reviews of initial impressions. I have to share this though: I saw a review for a show that was still airing recently that just said they queued the show, they would watch it later, it was currently a placeholder review, and they were giving a baseline average ‘8’ for now until they updated it later. I mean, huh…? Just post it later when you have something to write? Anyway, that pretty much killed ‘on air’ reviews for me. Hahaha

@lucie_kristina_g Does Viki do episodic ‘on air’ type releases of shows that have already aired on other platforms? I just assumed if the show had already aired somewhere else that they would drop the whole show on Viki all at once.

I don’t have that much insight, I’m afraid. Maybe someone else does.

Yes, this does happen, and quite often. It depends on the respective licensing rights and terms negotiated.

Yes, it can happen. Two scenarios, completed airing elsewhere and belatedly licensed on Viki, where there’s a schedule of recurring uploads of episodes, or no schedule with all episodes uploaded all at once. Again, it depends on the respective licensing rights and terms negotiated.
