I agree that Critical Dissonance probably shouldn't be on here. I think Rotten Tomatoes audience ratings in general aren't a very good gauge for tropes like these because of how prone audience/fandom ratings are to review-bombing and such.
While I've seen some disappointment in the series who are approaching criticism of the show in good faith, most of the interactions I've looked at about the series have been positive.
There might be a point to make about score manipulation and what it means for the Critical Dissonance trope at large, but that's a different conversation.
The general opinion I've seen about the show from good-faith folks is that it's So Okay, It's Average. Certainly not good in many ways, but more seen mediocre and plodding due to all the obvious Padding that resulted from converting it from a 2-hour movie to a 6-hour show than truly hateworthy, and the really bad parts are sloppy in a way that's also So Bad, It's Good and thus funny to watch.

I'm opposed to listing Critical Dissonance on here, since the show was very clearly review-bombed on a number of aggregate websites by a very specific group of viewers. Plus, as Rotten Tomatoes has pruned a number of the more obvious troll reviews, the audience score and critical score are pretty close together, which defeats the point of the trope's listing anyways.
