Summary
A mid-level tech support employee becomes the unlikely messenger of God after being struck by lightning, drawing the attention of a charming coworker, a no-nonsense angel, and the forces of Heaven and Hell as the apocalypse looms. He must navigate a budding romance while reluctantly accepting his role in the battle between good and evil.
God's Favorite Idiot is a 2022 comedy and fantasy television series. Its comedy subtype is Goofy.
181 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 187 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. 3,069 other television series from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 God's Favorite Idiot 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 · 2020s (3,070 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 181.
