Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath
Scored from 68 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
Actress Leah Remini, who left the Church of Scientology in 2013 after more than three decades in it, presents this A&E documentary series with Mike Rinder, the church's former international spokesman. Episode by episode they sit with former members who describe disconnection from family, conditions in the Sea Org, internal 'ethics' punishments and campaigns against critics and journalists. Remini and Rinder travel to the interviewees, read the church's written denials on camera, and note that it declined to take part. Across three seasons from 2016 to 2019, each hour is organised around a single family or allegation rather than a general history.
Released in 2016, Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath is a documentary, history and mystery television series. Its certificate is TV-MA. Episodes run about 45m. Its country of origin is listed as the United States.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 21 of whom clear the calibration test. Only 68 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 70 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s television series — 3,236 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 Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath 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 68.
