With a critics' score of just 38% on Rotten Tomatoes, My Life With The Walter Boys is officially "rotten" – but that hasn't stopped Netflix renewing the show for a second season. The decision shows that when it comes to streaming, review scores are not necessarily that important.
That's particularly the case here, because when you look at the scores in more detail, it turns out that the low score is based on just eight ratings. Whereas the audience score – a fresh rating giving the show an impressive 78% – is based on more than one hundred. The reviews are largely from well known and trusted publications –Variety, CNN, The AV Club and so on.
