Scored from 28 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
In Manny Coto's Showtime science-fiction series, the five-person crew of the space shuttle Odyssey — commander Chuck Taggart, his son Neil, scientist Kurt Mendel, Angela Perry and journalist Sarah Forbes — watch from orbit as the Earth is destroyed beneath them. An entity that finds them among the debris sends their consciousnesses five years into their own past, giving them a single chance to identify and stop whatever kills the planet. Back in their younger bodies and unable to explain what they know, they trace the danger to human work on self-replicating artificial intelligence and to acquaintances who may no longer be human. Showtime cancelled the show after one season.
Odyssey 5 is a 2002 action, adventure and drama television series. Its certificate is TV-14. Its country of origin is listed as Canada. Episodes run about 1h.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,359 2000s television series, not against the whole corpus. Only 28 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 28 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 Odyssey 5 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 · 2000s (1,360 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 28.
