Monster
Scored from 910 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
An anthology crime drama from Ryan Murphy that dramatizes notorious American criminal cases. The first season, 'Dahmer - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,' chronicles the life and crimes of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer through the perspectives of his victims, their families, and the systemic failures of police and neighbors who repeatedly ignored warning signs over more than a decade in Milwaukee.
Released in 2022, Monster is a biography, crime and drama television series.
Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 557 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 910 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 990 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,069 2020s television series, 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 Monster 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 · 2020s (3,070 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 910.
