Show Rating System

I will rate television shows on a scale of 1-10, with 10 being the highest possible score.
Here’s my criteria for rating a reality show. I give up to 10 points for each of the following categories and then average the score.
1. How compelling is the host or the main character on the show?
2. Is the premise solid and believable?
3. Are the contestants compelling to watch? Are they more like characters in a drama or interview subjects for a news piece?

Here’s my criteria for rating a drama show. I will also give up to 10 points for each of the following categories and then average the score.
1. Is the story well-written, believable?
2. Is the acting believable? Do I sympathize with or emotionally connect with the characters?
3. Do the costumes and sets contribute to or detract from the story?
4. Do I think this show will stay on the air for a long time?
