Summary
Ali 'Toni' Hamady runs the criminal business of a Lebanese-Arab clan in Berlin's Neukölln and wants out — a legitimate life with his wife Kalila and their daughter, away from the drug and weapons trade. When his brother-in-law Latif is arrested, Toni is pulled back in to hold the family's territory together against rival gangs, the police and his own relatives. The return of Vince, the childhood friend who has been away for years, complicates matters further, since Vince's loyalties are not what Toni believes them to be. A German crime series starring Kida Khodr Ramadan and Frederick Lau, running three seasons within a few square blocks of the city.
4 Blocks is a 2017 crime and drama television series. It is rated TV-MA. A typical episode runs 52 minutes. Its country of origin is listed as Germany. Its listed language is German.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus. Only 45 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 47 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
How the score was built
We compare the reviewers of this title against every other title those same people reviewed. Each review is scored relative to the reviewer's own baseline — a 7/10 from a hard grader sits well above their average, while a 7/10 from a generous grader sits below theirs. Every reviewer then counts the same, so the result is a calibrated consensus rather than a raw average.
- Global percentile
- Where 4 Blocks lands against every title we rank.
- In-cohort percentile
- The same comparison narrowed to its cohort — titles of the same format released in the same decade. A 1970s film is judged against 1970s films, not against last year's streaming series. Ranked against TV Series · 2010s (3,236 titles).
- AI-adjusted percentile
- The same reviewer-normalized score, corrected for how much confidence the sample supports: thin samples are pulled toward the corpus average. Each title keeps the share n / (n + 53) of its measured distance from the average, where n is its calibrated-reviewer count, and the result is ranked on the same scale as the global percentile.53 is the median sample size across everything we rank. Here n is 45.
