Scored from 54 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Mini Series · 2000s (259 peers).
Summary
Tom Hooper's two-part miniseries covers the final decades of Elizabeth Tudor's reign, with Helen Mirren as the ageing queen weighing a marriage to the Duke of Anjou against her long attachment to Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester (Jeremy Irons). The first part turns on Catholic conspiracies, the fate of Mary, Queen of Scots, and the Spanish Armada; the second on her volatile late-life bond with Dudley's stepson, the young Earl of Essex (Hugh Dancy), whose ambitions in Ireland and at court collide with her authority. It is a chamber-scaled historical drama, more interested in the private cost of ruling and an unresolved succession than in battlefield spectacle.
Elizabeth I (2005) is a miniseries IMDb files under the biography, drama and history genres. It was made in the United States. A typical episode runs 110 minutes.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 7 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 54 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 58 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2000s miniseries — 259 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 Elizabeth I 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 Mini Series · 2000s (259 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 54.
