Summary
A procedural drama following the elite agents of the FBI's New York field office as they investigate high-profile cases involving terrorism, organized crime, and counterintelligence. The series centers on Special Agent Maggie Bell and her partner Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan as they balance the demands of the job with their personal lives, working alongside their team to protect the country from major threats.
FBI is a 2018 action, crime and drama television series.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s television series — 3,236 of them. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 46 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 380 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 412 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 FBI 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 380.
