Summary
In the small town of Derry, Maine, seven children calling themselves the Losers' Club are terrorized by a shapeshifting evil that often takes the form of Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Three decades later, as adults, they are summoned back home to confront the creature once more and finish what they started as kids.
IT is a 1990 drama, horror and mystery miniseries.
141 other miniseries from the 1990s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 392 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 405 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 IT 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 · 1990s (142 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 392.
