There have frequently been fairly big discrepancies between critic and user reviews/scores. This one is impossible to ignore though.
TBS was aggressively shoving previews for their new series "Chad" in our faces all during the NCAA Tourney. It looked AWFUL! There was no way I was ever going to watch it. Just out of curiosity I looked at some reviews. It's just getting savagely torn apart by everybody...except the allegedly professional critics. They have it rated 90%, normal people 23%. You cannot have that large of a disparity unless someone is flat out lying/pushing an agenda.
Also a 2.5 rating on IMDB, which is the lowest I've ever seen for anything, by a wide margin. The people have spoken.
You could tell this was a train wreck from the ads. I can't believe anyone greenlit this. It's dumbfounding some of the decisions that are made by execs in the entertainment industry.
