I have a few sources for checking games, and one of the sites I check review a large number of things. I happened to click on one of their TV show reviews, which I never do, and I noticed on the top it is says in bold "Note: Full spoilers for the episode follow.". I then checked out a few other show reviews on the site to compare and noticed that they all start with the same warning.
This seems to be completely pointless to me. Why would anyone want to read a review of a show they are thinking about watching, if the review spoils the story for them? Would these same people read a review that spoils the story of a movie or a game too?Am I missing something here?
On the same topic, why do people even bother reviewing individual episodes of TV shows at all? Is it just purely for the hits? There is no additional charge to watch each episode individually unless you are using a VOD service, but really, if you were watching a TV show, would you skip episodes, and potentially miss key scenes, because they don't score well?
