Discover the highs and lows of every franchise. Search any series to generate interactive rating heatmaps and poster timelines. Track the performance of every episode and find out if that 'must-watch' show is actually worth the time.
Rate the Run turns raw rating data into something immediately readable. For TV shows, it builds a colour-coded heatmap — seasons run down the left side, episodes across the top, and each cell shows that episode’s rating on a green-to-red scale. A strong season is a row of greens and yellows. A rough one stands out instantly.
Click any episode and a detail panel shows the episode name, air date, runtime, vote count, and a short description. The tool also identifies the three highest and three lowest rated episodes automatically.
For films, Rate the Run displays every entry in a franchise as a scrollable poster timeline. Each poster card shows the title, year, and a live rating badge. Stats above the timeline show the franchise average, highest rated, and lowest rated entries. It’s a quick way to see whether a franchise has been consistent or whether quality dropped off after a certain point.
Search for any TV show in the search bar — results come from TMDB’s database of tens of thousands of titles. For franchises, select from the pills at the top. The tool supports over 25 franchises, each with poster artwork and live ratings.
The heatmap is particularly useful for deciding whether to continue a show. If the ratings visibly decline after a certain season, that’s a reasonable place to stop. Equally, if a show’s later seasons rate higher than the early ones, it’s worth pushing through.
