Scored from 816 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
A cybersecurity engineer with social anxiety is recruited by a mysterious hacker to join an anarchist collective targeting a powerful multinational corporation. As Elliot becomes drawn into their cyberterrorism plot, he begins to question both the mission and his own perception of reality.
Released in 2015, Mr. Robot is a drama, thriller and crime television series. Sam Esmail created it. Its certificate is TV-MA. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Episodes run about 47m. Rami Malek, Christian Slater and Portia Doubleday head the billed cast.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 588 of whom clear the calibration test. The calibrated figure is built from 816 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 937 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 Mr. Robot 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 816.
