And telling me that a certain show is a &lsquo;72% match&rsquo; with my habits doesn&rsquo;t encourage me to watch it either. That&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m glad I just discovered&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/tv-chart\/hodmmnlcinpkhnkkmfdbblcdnfffakgk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">TV Chart<\/a>, a clever new Chrome extension that brings IMDb ratings to your Netflix account.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2020\/06\/TV-Chart-in-action-right-within-Netflix-interface.jpg\" alt=\"TV Chart in action right within Netflix&#039; interface\" width=\"746\" height=\"233\" \/><\/p>\n<p>There&rsquo;s nothing to it: simply install the extension, then fire up Netflix in Chrome, and click on the graph button next to the title of a show or film (it works in detailed previews as well as in thumbnails when you hover over listings) to reveal its ratings pulled from IMDb.<\/p>\n<p>The charts for TV series will display the ratings across all of their seasons and episodes, which makes it easy to figure out if they&rsquo;re worth watching. You&rsquo;ll be able to tell if a show has been consistently good, and can also quickly find the best episode to just jump into and see for yourself (this obviously works better for series without a continuous storyline).<\/p>\n<p>TV Chart was made by developer&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/benmiz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Benjamin Mizrahi<\/a>, and works like a charm, for the most part. It seems to have issues with some content: it couldn&rsquo;t pull up the ratings for Brit comedy series&nbsp;<em>Man Like Mobeen<\/em>, and didn&rsquo;t display a ratings button for&nbsp;<em>Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich<\/em>. Hopefully, these are just bugs that can be easily resolved.<\/p>\n<p>Give TV Chart a go in Chrome or Opera (yes, you can use Chrome extensions in Opera,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.opera.com\/hi\/case-studies\/using-addons-from-chrome-in-opera\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">here&rsquo;s how<\/a>) by installing it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/chrome.google.com\/webstore\/detail\/tv-chart\/hodmmnlcinpkhnkkmfdbblcdnfffakgk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">from this page<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/help.netflix.com\/en\/node\/100639\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/help.netflix.com\/en\/node\/100639<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>ABHIMANYU GHOSHAL<\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>ABHIMANYU GHOSHAL<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/4001-logo-62.png\" alt=\"\">Back in July 2018,&nbsp;Netflix killed off its user reviews system&nbsp;on its streaming platform, to the dismay of many a devoted viewer around the world.
