Quarterback
Scored from 39 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
This eight-part Netflix documentary series embeds with three NFL quarterbacks across the 2022 season: Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs, Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings and Marcus Mariota of the Atlanta Falcons. All three wore microphones for every game, and NFL Films crews followed them into film study, training rooms, contract conversations and their houses. The arcs run in parallel - Mahomes leading a title contender through an ankle injury, Cousins steering Minnesota through a season of one-score finishes, Mariota trying to hold on to a starting job - so the job is shown at three very different career stages. It was produced by NFL Films with Peyton Manning's Omaha Productions.
Quarterback (2023) is a television series IMDb files under the documentary and sport genres. Episodes run about 48m. Its country of origin is listed as the United States. Its certificate is TV-MA.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,069 2020s television series, not against the whole corpus. Only 39 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 39 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 21 of whom clear the calibration test.
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 Quarterback 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 · 2020s (3,070 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 39.
