Das Boot
Scored from 152 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
A modern continuation of the WWII U-boat saga, the series follows the crew of submarine U-612 on dangerous Atlantic missions in 1942 while a parallel storyline unfolds in occupied La Rochelle, France, where a young German translator becomes entangled with the French Resistance. The narrative weaves together life-or-death tension at sea with intrigue, espionage, and moral compromise on land.
Das Boot is a 2018 drama and war television series.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus. The calibrated figure is built from 152 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 160 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Das Boot 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 152.
