Homeland
Scored from 653 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 CIA officer becomes convinced that an American POW, recently rescued after eight years of captivity in Afghanistan, has been turned as an asset by al-Qaeda. As he reintegrates into American life, she launches a covert investigation to prove her suspicions, leading to a tense psychological thriller between the officer and the soldier.
Homeland is a 2011 drama, thriller and spy television series starring Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin. Howard Gordon and Alex Gansa created it. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Episodes run about 50m. Its certificate is TV-MA.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s television series — 3,236 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 653 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 698 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 272 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 Homeland 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 653.
