I meant dropping as in: dropping before completing a whole season. Btw, I'm specifically asking about anime shows but you can say your opinion on overall shows too and this will be valid too.

I have never rated a show regardless of finishing it. What do you all rate it on? The service you watched it or something 3rd party like rotten tomatoes?

I'm mainly an anime guy. And I use and rate on AniList

If I dropped it, I thought it wasn't great, so I'll rate accordingly.

Yes I rate shows I drop. I’ll drop a show because it is bad or some part of it overshadows the good parts.

The most recent example is Scarpetta. The serial killer investigation aspects, the dual time lines (part of the show involves the characters in the 90s, part is modern day) and many other aspects of the show are excellent.

One of the characters is played by Jamie Lee Curtis and her character is just too over the top and insufferable that it makes the show unwatchable, for me. I get what the show is trying to do with the character, i am just not dealing with that.

I try to rate whatever so it shows up when I look people up, as in what else they've been in. Mostly IMDb but that doesn't work for anime (doesn't always show the English cast).

Yes, but only if you have atleast watched a season worth of content. I think it is okay to rate a show from season 1 forinstance. And being able to chance your opinion about it if season 2 rocks your world out of the blue. I mean, I don't need to watch the whole sex and the city to understand the show isn't for me. But am I going to rate it from my personal præferences? No, that wouldn't really give people who likes these types of shows the correct score in the end.

I meant dropping as in: dropping it after a few episodes (not completing a whole season)
