Hart of Dixie
Scored from 98 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
A woman unexpectedly inherits a bar in a small town in Louisiana and moves there to manage it. She becomes immersed in the quirky local community and discovers mysteries connected to her family's past.
Released in 2011, Hart of Dixie is a comedy, drama and romance television series. It is rated TV-14. It was made in the United States. A typical episode runs 42 minutes.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 13 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 98 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 106 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
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 Hart of Dixie 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 98.
