      We could avoid a lot of bad discourse if we just realize 1) it's not the job of critics to mirror mass taste 2) popularity of a work of art is proof of neither its merit or demerit 3) both critics & audiences react to art in complicated ways which are worth good faith inquiry

      the audience reaction is the more authentic cultural response history would suggest critics as a group are usually anomalous in the specific moment

      Nope. Critics are often ahead of the curve. There's a reason why we still know about Citizen Kane, championed by critics, and have forgotten much more popular movies from that period.

          Right. Critics have trashed or been meh about plenty of classic movies, songs, books, etc.

          Even more movies can be cited that critics reviled but later came to be seen as classics. And there are scores of critically praised movies in any given year than no one now remembers.

          You're right, maybe both critics & audiences react to art in complicated ways which are worth good faith inquiry

          also Netflix shows are subject to big selection bias via recommendation algorithms.

          Is love to read a big data take on this. Because my sense is that critics miss as often as they lead.
