Jericho
Scored from 162 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
After nuclear explosions devastate several major American cities, the residents of the small Kansas town of Jericho are cut off from the outside world and must struggle to survive. As they cope with shortages, refugees, and the collapse of normal society, mysteries emerge about who was behind the attacks and what is happening beyond their borders.
Released in 2006, Jericho is an action, drama and mystery television series.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,359 2000s television series, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 17 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 162 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 174 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 Jericho 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 · 2000s (1,360 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 162.
