Summary
A 939-year-old immortal goblin, once a decorated general cursed to live eternally as a guardian of souls, searches for a human bride who can pull the sword from his chest and end his immortality. He ends up sharing a home with an amnesiac Grim Reaper, and his fate becomes entangled with a cheerful high school girl who can see ghosts and claims to be his destined bride.
Guardian: The Lonely and Great God is a 2016 comedy, drama and fantasy miniseries. Its comedy subtype is Dramedy.
178 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 209 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 701 2010s miniseries, not against the whole corpus.
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 Guardian: The Lonely and Great God 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 · 2010s (702 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 178.
