Gossip Girl
Scored from 238 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
An anonymous blogger known only as Gossip Girl chronicles the scandalous lives of privileged teens at an elite Manhattan prep school. The series follows best friends Serena van der Woodsen and Blair Waldorf, along with their wealthy Upper East Side circle, as they navigate romance, rivalry, family drama, and social status. Outsiders from Brooklyn become entangled in their world as secrets are exposed through Gossip Girl's blog.
Released in 2007, Gossip Girl is a drama and romance television series.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 111 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 238 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 281 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. 1,359 other television series from the 2000s 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 Gossip Girl 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 · 2000s (1,360 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 238.
