Hijack
Scored from 484 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
A commercial flight is hijacked while in the air. A highly experienced negotiator becomes the crucial figure attempting to resolve the crisis through tense negotiations with the hijacker. As the situation unfolds in real-time, the negotiator must use all his skills to prevent tragedy and save the passengers and crew.
Jim Field Smith created Hijack, a thriller and drama television series from 2023. It was made in the United Kingdom. It stars Idris Elba.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 217 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 484 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 528 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s television series — 3,070 of them.
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 Hijack 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 484.
