Audiences rate it well above critics here, a 25-point gap. A notable split like this usually flags something worth knowing going in: a divisive ending, a polarizing style, or controversial material. This is outside context from IMDb and Metacritic, not part of the TVI Score, which measures cognitive value on our own published methodology.
