Hi @CodebanK.
I have no idea why you are getting the above error but when I paste your code I see [null,null,null,null,null] console logged. Your call back function is returning the value of {title:'Title',rating:'imdbRating'} property in the rating object which doesn’t make sense, does it? Check the answer below and compare with yours. Hopefully you will see what is wrong with your code.

let ratings = watchList.map(rating => ({title:rating['Title'],rating: rating['imdbRating']}))

You can also read more about map from MDN.

did something else following the example in the link you dropped, but the answer wasn’t the same

let ratings = watchList.map(rating => {
 let rObj = {};
  rObj[rating['Title']] = rating['imdbRating'] 

return rObj;

});

Those two can’t give you the same result.

can you help with the result, i will definately learn something from it
