How the Hadath score works

Everyone rates from 1 to 10. The score you see isn't a plain average. It's weighted, so a single 10 can't leapfrog a film that thousands of people rated a 9.

score = (sum of ratings + 20 × starting score) ÷ (number of ratings + 20)

• Every title begins with an early score blended from the ratings of viewers around the world, across several sources. The sources that rest on more votes count for more. It counts like 20 votes.
• A brand-new release with only a few early ratings is pulled toward the average until more people weigh in, so a hundred hopeful 9s can't jump above the all-time greats.
• A dimmer badge means Hadath viewers haven't rated it yet: early score, still settling.
• As Hadath ratings arrive, they take over. After a few hundred, the early score barely matters.
• Films and series are charted separately. A tie goes to the title with more ratings, then to the one more people are watching.

Trending, new and hidden gems

• Trending now mixes what's on the streaming charts, what's topping the box office and what critics are rating highest, with a nod to fresh releases.
• New & rising is the best of the last twelve months, ranked by the same score.
• Hidden gems are strongly rated titles that fewer people have found yet.
• Filter any chart by region: Hollywood, Bollywood, South Indian, British, Korean, Japanese, Middle East, European or world cinema.

Reviews and comments

• No account needed. Post again with the same name from the same device and you update your review instead of adding a second rating.
• Mark spoilers and your review stays folded until a reader opts in.
• Under Reviews from around the world you'll find short excerpts written by viewers elsewhere, credited to their authors. They sit apart from Hadath viewers' own reviews and never count toward the score.
• Links are limited, posting is rate-limited, and we hide anything abusive, off-topic or spam. Reviews are the opinions of their authors, not Hadath's.

Where the lineup comes from

Every film and series gets its own page automatically, at /review/movies/{title} or /review/tvshows/{title}. The lineup keeps growing, and each page shows where you can watch it.
