For the first time ever, Rotten Tomatoes will provide its "Tomatometer" ratings for every new episode of "Game of Thrones," according to TheVerge.com.
The goal is to generate excitement for the site's TV ratings section, which Rotten Tomatoes, which is best known for rating movies, launched last fall, though the project remains in beta phase, TheVerge.com reported.
"Episode level ratings will bring a whole new level of engagement from our Rotten Tomatoes fans," Rotten Tomatoes editor-in-chief Matt Atchity said in a statement, according to TheVerge.com. "Since it's avidly followed by its audience, 'Game of Thrones' is the perfect series to invite our users to check in even more frequently - and find out what the critics and other users are saying."
The recent Season 4 premiere of "Game of Thrones" currently sports a 96 percent "Fresh" ranking, TheVerge.com reported. The rankings are available on Rotten Tomatoes' Facebook page, Twitter account and website.
Critics contributing to the episode reviews hail from newspapers, magazines and websites, according to TheVerge.com.
Few shows generate as much excitement as "Game of Thrones," which is based on George R. R. Martin's novels, and since the premiere episode released this past Sunday, "Two Swords," has been one of the most popular subjects across social media for the past 24 hours, with HBO earning its highest ratings since "The Sopranos" finale, TheVerge.com reported.
Rotten Tomatoes will provide episode-specific rankings for episodes of other shows with similarly rabid fan bases, though the site is currently not disclosing details on which shows will be rated, according to TheVerge.com.
