Peep Show
Scored from 92 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2000s (1,360 peers).
Summary
Mark Corrigan, a joyless loan manager at a credit company, shares a flat in Croydon with Jeremy Usborne, his former university housemate and an aspiring musician who has never held a job. The British sitcom is shot almost entirely in point-of-view, with each man's unspoken thoughts running as voiceover against whatever he actually manages to say, so the audience hears every cowardice and calculation that the other character misses. Mark's protracted campaign to win over his colleague Sophie and Jeremy's dependence on his bandmate Super Hans drive most of the episodes. Across nine series the two sabotage jobs, relationships and each other without learning anything from it.
Peep Show (2003) is a television series IMDb files under the comedy genre. It is rated TV-MA. It was made in the United Kingdom. A typical episode runs 30 minutes.
1,359 other television series from the 2000s form the cohort it is ranked inside. Only 92 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 98 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 32 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
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 Peep Show 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 92.
