Summary
Forensic investigators in Las Vegas solve crimes by analyzing physical evidence and clues left at crime scenes.
CSI: Crime Scene Investigation is a 2000 crime, drama and mystery television series. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Its certificate is TV-14. Episodes run about 42m.
The calibrated figure is built from 110 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 118 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 12 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,359 2000s television series, not against the whole corpus.
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 CSI: Crime Scene Investigation 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 · 2000s (1,360 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 110.
