IMDb ratings on Apple TV+
Popcorn is a free Chrome extension that adds the IMDb rating, and the Rotten Tomatoes score where one exists, to Apple TV posters on tv.apple.com. Letterboxd and Metacritic appear on the same cards when Popcorn has them.
How to set it up
- Add Popcorn to Chrome from the Chrome Web Store. There is no account to create.
- Open tv.apple.com in the same Chrome window and sign in as usual.
- Scroll any row. Scores appear on the posters as they load.
Reading the badges
- Yellow ring: the IMDb rating, out of 10.
- Red ring: the Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer, the share of critics who liked it.
- White ring: the Rotten Tomatoes Audience Score, when one exists.
- Blue ring: the Letterboxd rating, out of 5, when one exists.
- Green ring: the Metacritic Metascore, out of 100, when one exists.
- Mint ring: the Metacritic user score, out of 10, when one exists.
A poster with no badge has not been matched. A matched title can still show fewer rings when Letterboxd or Metacritic has no score. Popcorn does not guess.
The yellow and red rings often disagree. Why IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes disagree, with real examples.
Apple TV notes
- Movies and series. Popcorn shows a score on either when it has one. F1 The Movie has all six. Severance on the browse row shows IMDb and both Rotten Tomatoes scores.
- A missing score is left off. The Slow Horses hero in the still above has no Letterboxd line. Popcorn does not fill that gap.
- Watch Trailer. On a title page, Watch Trailer sits after the scores when a YouTube trailer is available, and stays off otherwise.

Questions
Why do some Apple TV posters have no score?
Popcorn does not guess. If a title has no IMDb or Rotten Tomatoes page, or has not been matched yet, it shows nothing.
Does it work in the Apple TV app?
No. Popcorn runs in Chrome on desktop. It cannot change the Apple TV app on phones or TVs.
More answers are in the main FAQ, and the privacy page lists exactly what Popcorn sends.
