Instructions

Search on Metacritic.com for the title you want.
Click on the correct link to go to the TV show's page (or whatever you're looking for). Be sure you're on the correct title page.
The page URL for a television series or made-for-TV film should look like https://www.metacritic.com/tv/YYYYYYYYYY/, with the YYYYYYYYYY being a text ID for the film/series (and usually the film/series title with all spaces and punctuation replaced with hyphens).
Copy ONLY that text at the end.
Add to the external links section the text:

where "YYYYYYYYYY" is the id you've copied, and "Title" is the title of the movie or show. The title field is completely optional, and will default to the Wikipedia article title if left out.
