I don't think there's a need for weight since there are many reviewers. The weight is the percentage of people who thumbed it up.

How does weight have anything to do with amount of reviewers? Those are completely unrelated metrics.

The current suggested rating is influenced by your history of rating, with weight given to how highly you rated it. There are shows that are suggested at 4 stars for my wife but at 2 stars for me.
