Scored from 223 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
Larry David plays a version of himself — co-creator of Seinfeld, semi-retired, wealthy and constitutionally unable to let a small social infraction pass — living in Los Angeles with his wife Cheryl and his manager and closest friend, Jeff Greene. Each episode sends him through errands, dinner parties and business meetings in which a minor point of etiquette becomes an argument, the argument becomes a feud, and several separate threads collide in the closing minutes. Jeff's abrasive wife Susie and a rotating cast of acquaintances and celebrities playing themselves absorb most of the collateral damage. The HBO comedy is largely improvised from scene outlines rather than scripted dialogue.

Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 153 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 223 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 244 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s television series — 1,360 of them.
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 Curb Your Enthusiasm 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 223.
