I think at this point, any sort of online review aggregators have been ruined for good - from Amazon to Imdb to Google. All of them. Find a professional reviewer you trust, whose taste aligns with your own. For me, I like The Critical Drinker. Most of what he recommends, I like. Except Arcane, that was horrible.

Out of interest, what did you dislike about Arcane?

Okay I shouldn't have said horrible, that was too harsh. But it just didn't click with me at all, and I abandoned it after 1 or 2 episodes. It's been a few months, so I can't remember specifically why. It's not that I don't like animation - I really enjoyed Blue Eyed Samurai for example.
