As far as I can tell, the only platform that I found with medium level of reliability is metacritic.

I tried Letterboxd, Serializd, IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, all of them tend to be very unreliable.

Is there is any other platform that has reliable ratings/reviews?

I'm using IMDB because it's the biggest so it's got the most ratings, hance should be the most reliable. But then I only treat it as a general indicator, not source of truth.

You might wanna find a reviewer that shares your preferences and follow them.

Unfortunately it's owned by Amazon now so it inflates the ratings of their shows. But other than that it's still quite good like you said for getting an overview

That's some solid advice

IMDb balances out eventually

So many fake reviews to start with, but then ratings drop as real reviews come in.

If you're patiently sailing the high seas, it's reliable as fuck
