Death in Paradise
Scored from 220 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 long-running British crime drama set on the fictional Caribbean island of Saint Marie, where a series of British detectives are seconded to lead the local police force. Each episode follows a self-contained murder investigation, typically an apparently impossible or locked-room killing, which the lead detective unravels alongside a small team of island officers. The show blends classic whodunit puzzles with sunlit tropical scenery and light character comedy.
Death in Paradise (2011) is a television series IMDb files under the crime, drama and mystery genres.
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 220 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 227 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 13 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 Death in Paradise 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 220.
