Sprung
Scored from 69 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
Jack, a mild-mannered convict who has served 27 years for a nonviolent drug offence, is released in the spring of 2020 as prisons empty because of COVID-19, and walks out into a locked-down country with no money, no job market and nowhere to live. He lands in the house of a man he knew inside, Rooster, alongside Rooster's wary mother Barb and Gloria, another of the newly released. Unable to find honest work and unwilling to go back, the household settles on a compromise: keep committing crimes, but only against people they decide have it coming. Greg Garcia's half-hour comedy stars Garret Dillahunt as Jack, with Martha Plimpton as Barb.
Released in 2022, Sprung is a comedy television series. It is rated TV-MA. It was made in the United States. A typical episode runs 30 minutes.
Only 69 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 72 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 17 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,069 2020s television series, not against the whole corpus.
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 Sprung 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 69.
