How to read Rotten Tomatoes’ scores
The Tomatometer reflects critics’ reviews; Rotten Tomatoes presents audience reception separately through the Popcornmeter. A season’s percentage should therefore be read as the share of qualifying critic reviews classified as positive, not as an audience poll or a rating of how much every viewer will enjoy it. Rotten Tomatoes also calculates its series-level “Average Tomatometer” by adding the season scores and dividing by the number of seasons with a Tomatometer. That aggregate is a separate measure from this season-by-season ranking. Rotten Tomatoes’ Dexter series page
