Automatically Calculate Season and Series Ratings from Episode Ratings

When rating a TV series in Moviebase, there are currently three different rating levels:

- ⭐ Entire series

- ⭐ Each season

- ⭐ Each episode

The idea

If a user rates every episode of a season, Moviebase could automatically calculate the average episode rating and use it as a suggested season rating.

Then, once the seasons have been rated, Moviebase could also calculate the average and provide a suggested overall series rating.

For example:

Season 1

- Episode 1 → 8/10

- Episode 2 → 9/10

- Episode 3 → 7/10

- Episode 4 → 8/10

➡️ Suggested Season 1 rating: 8/10

And once all seasons have been rated:

Season 1 → 8/10

Season 2 → 9/10

Season 3 → 7/10

➡️ Suggested Series rating: 8/10

Important: Keep it as a suggestion

I think the automatically calculated rating should not be fixed.

It would be better if Moviebase automatically suggested the calculated score, while still allowing the user to override it with their own rating.

This gives users the convenience of not having to manually rate the season and series after rating every episode, while still giving them complete control over their personal ratings.

This could make the rating system much more consistent and convenient for users who like to rate shows episode by episode.

In short:

Episode ratings → Suggested Season rating → Suggested Series rating

With the option to manually override the suggested ratings at any level.
