Released in 2013, Banshee is a crime, drama and thriller television series. Episodes run about 50m. Its certificate is TV-MA. Jonathan Tropper and David Schickler created it. Antony Starr, Ivana Miličević and Ulrich Thomsen head the billed cast. Its country of origin is listed as the United States.
The calibrated figure is built from 447 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 482 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. 3,235 other television series from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 168 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 Banshee 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 447.
