People of Earth
Scored from 60 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Summary
Ozzie Graham, a New York journalist played by Wyatt Cenac, drives up to the town of Beacon to write a skeptical feature on StarCrossed, a support group for people who say they were taken by aliens and who prefer the term 'experiencers.' Its members, among them the group's therapist Gina and a local priest, Father Doug, prove harder to dismiss than he expected, and Ozzie's own half-remembered encounter pulls him from reporter to participant. The TBS half-hour comedy cuts between the group's meetings and the abductors themselves: a grey, a reptilian and a tall white alien bickering over their assignment aboard the ship parked above the town.
People of Earth is a 2016 comedy, mystery and science-fiction television series. It was made in the United States. It is rated TV-14. A typical episode runs 30 minutes.
Only 60 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 62 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 27 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s television series — 3,236 of them.
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 People of Earth 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 60.
