Scored from 124 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
Set during the French Revolution in 1792, vampire hunter Richter Belmont and the magician Maria Renard face a rising vampire threat led by Erzsebet Bathory, who seeks to plunge the world into eternal darkness. Haunted by the loss of his mother years earlier, Richter must confront his past and reclaim his lineage's power to protect those he loves and stop the coming apocalypse.
Released in 2023, Castlevania: Nocturne is an action, adventure and animation television series.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s television series — 3,070 of them. 124 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 155 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 221 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
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 Castlevania: Nocturne 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 · 2020s (3,070 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 124.
