Re:Netflix Replacing Star Ratings With Thumbs Ups and Thumbs...

I prefer the Goodreads rating system which compresses 1 and 2:
1 - Did not like it
2 - It was ok
3 - Liked it
4 - Really liked it
5 - It was amazing
The reason being is that most books won't end up being 1 or 2, and there really isn't much difference between them. But it sucks giving 2 stars to something that wasn't bad. Perhaps emoji arranged in a non-star-like pattern would be the best.
1 - Terrible. Good Lord, who thought making this was a good idea?
2 - Poor. Would not watch again
3 - Fair. Neither for or against. Unlikely to watch again, but I don't grudge the time spent.
4 - Good. I enjoyed it. I would probably watch again.
5 - Exceptional. Probably in my top 10 now, and foresee enjoying watching for years to come.
3 and 4 are used a lot. 2 is used occasionally. 1 and 5 are rare.
