What BBN said about it

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorForbes reports Netflix's critically acclaimed show has returned and maintained a perfect hundred percent score on Rotten Tomatoes without a single dissenting review.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNot yet. Somewhere a critic hasn't pressed play, and that's the one I'm worried about.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorDon't you dare. These reviewers are a family, and families stay perfect together.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen you'll want a guard at every screening.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI've hired two. And that brings us to the Drama Index: a nine out of ten, because a perfect score is pure suspense.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorNine?
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe tenth point is saved for the day somebody gives it a mixed review.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThen I'm rooting for a ten, Vera, and I hate that I am.
