CriticsNet Extension

The platform can't decide what we watch. We had television for that. With consumers switching to Over the Top or streaming services like Netflix, Prime Video, Hotstar, HOOQ, etc., we don't want them to turn into our old TV set, with them pushing recommendations of what we should watch.

Take control over the content you watch. After you are paying for all of it. We will help you so that you can make an independent decision. Our tool, which is completely unaffiliated, offers you several features like rating from top review sites like IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, Metacritic, TV.com, etc.

We are gearing up to provide you completely unbiased watch recommendations which keeps you at the center and not the platforms or content affiliations.


Key Features:
- We provide you ratings for the movies or other content you watch on streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hotstar, and etc.
- Want to watch a movie but not sure about the rating, one-click on our extension helps you find it out
- Unable to decide whether to watch a movie or not, one-click on our extension helps you understand what ratings websites like IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, etc. have to say

Christian Waits (ID: 0000002f37a77c08) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/31/2020 Works very well on Netlix, but would be much better if it showed the information (at least the imdb, Rotten Tomatos and Metacritic ratings) directly on the Netflix interface, without having to open the extension each time. Could you do that? And I can also report the following problem: The extension recognizes a movie and retrieves its data, when the url has the format: https://www.netflix.com/browse?jbv=81033865 But it doesn't when the format is: https://www.netflix.com/browse/genre/19820?jbv=81033865 Please, note that in both cases the movie is the same. In the first case, the extension shows the data correctly and in the second case it does not show the data at all. It says: "Sorry! try different movie". I think you should modify the code to match the different url formats. In one case the movie was found on home page and in the other it was found browsing a genre. Maybe there are even other url formats on Netflix browsing, I don't know.
