Summary
Josh Greenberg is a mild, luckless temp in Chicago who has just been dumped by his girlfriend Maggie and is trying to date again. Adapted by Simon Rich from his story collection The Last Girlfriend on Earth, this FXX comedy stages ordinary romantic humiliation as literal fact: the blind date his sister Liz arranges turns out to be an actual troll, and Maggie's new boyfriend is Adolf Hitler, alive and charming at 126. Josh's friend Mike supplies confident, useless advice between disasters. The half-hour series ran three seasons and cuts between deadpan Chicago realism and sketch-scale fantasy sequences.
Released in 2015, Man Seeking Woman is a comedy, fantasy and romance television series. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Episodes run about 22m. Its certificate is TV-MA.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 20 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus. Only 35 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 36 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track.
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 Man Seeking Woman 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 35.
