Chad Perry (ID: 0000003a3b07d0e9) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 09/07/2023 Having all the extra info right on my page is fantastic!

Neo Freund (ID: 000000e61376c653) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 08/19/2023 It would be cool if there was a feature that Rotten Tomatoes would only show the reviews (critics) and not the audience. Is this possible?

Luke Foord (darthmarticus) (ID: 0000007537a6111f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/22/2023 Works perfectly. Not sure what else could be added but I like the idea of this extension growing over time.

mikey permin (ID: 000000c82766c6a1) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 05/20/2023 Fantastic extension, basic data that should have been present by default. I would love to have the features of trackerboxd and a few of the other letterboxd extensions added to this one, making a kind of letterboxed enhancement suite "LES" similar to reddits extension variant. Great work!
