Meltdown: Three Mile Island
Scored from 72 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Mini Series · 2020s (1,094 peers).
Summary
A documentary series examining the 1979 Three Mile Island nuclear disaster in Pennsylvania. The series details the events leading up to the accident, the crisis itself, and the aftermath including safety reforms and public health impacts. It features interviews with survivors, experts, and those involved in the response.
Meltdown: Three Mile Island is a 2022 documentary and history miniseries. It was made in the United States.
A second review pool sits behind it as well: 13 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 72 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 76 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,093 2020s miniseries, not against the whole corpus.
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 Meltdown: Three Mile Island 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 · 2020s (1,094 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 72.
