thumb is just the poster selection. You can change that easily via the GUI if you need to.
Now the rating is what we’re trying to solve.
We need to unlock this for the whole library, because there is no longer an input field in the edit modal to edit (critic) rating. So being locked in the database prevents it from getting updated by the new agent.

Only you need to change the query a bit.
First, you need to determine the library ID of your tv show library. It’s actually contained in the XML already. librarySectionID="2"
You want to change something in a tv show, so type=2.
You want to remove the lock on the rating field, so &rating.locked=0
which gives us
curl -X PUT "me.local:32400/library/sections/2/all?type=2&rating.locked=0&X-Plex-Token=XXXXX"
to unlock all ratings of tv shows within library number 2.
If you want to, you can unlock all the poster selections as well – with
curl -X PUT "me.local:32400/library/sections/2/all?type=2&thumb.locked=0&X-Plex-Token=XXXXX"
I have actually not tested this, but I am confident that it’ll work.
Call up again the show’s XML afterwards, to verify the success of the command.
