Summary
Agâh Beyoğlu (Haluk Bilginer), a retired Istanbul courthouse clerk, is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and told he will progressively lose his memory; he decides to spend what is left of it killing people he believes escaped punishment, on the logic that he himself will not remember the murders. Nevra Elmas (Cansu Dere), a young homicide detective marginalised within her department and carrying trauma of her own, catches the case. Agâh keeps notebooks and recordings to hold on to what he has done, while Nevra works toward the thread connecting the victims. Written by the novelist Hakan Günday and directed by Onur Saylak, the twelve-episode Turkish crime drama first ran on puhutv.
Released in 2018, Persona is a crime, drama and mystery television series. It is rated TV-MA. Its listed language is Swedish. It was made in Sweden.
3,235 other television series from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 2 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Only 78 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 93 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 Persona 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 78.
