Why does VidAngel show a different rating than what I see on Netflix/Amazon/other platforms?
VidAngel pulls content ratings from multiple sources to help you make informed viewing choices, but different platforms can lead to different opinions on ratings—it happens. Here's why VidAngel's rating might not always match what you see elsewhere.
Ratings aren't universal
Different platforms can assign different ratings to the same title. VidAngel aggregates rating information across sources, which means we sometimes display a rating that doesn't match what you see on Netflix, Amazon, or IMDb. When platforms update their ratings, it can also take time for those changes to reflect everywhere else.
TV shows are especially tricky
A series might carry one overall rating, but individual episodes can be rated differently. If the streaming platform is showing you an episode rating while VidAngel is showing the series rating (or vice versa), that's usually why they don't match.
