The Great
Scored from 450 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
A satirical, occasionally true story of the rise of Catherine the Great from outsider to the longest-reigning female ruler in Russian history. Arriving at the court of the volatile Emperor Peter III with romantic ideals, the young Prussian bride quickly discovers a debauched, dangerous world and begins plotting a coup to seize the throne and drag Russia into the Enlightenment.
The Great (2020) is a television series IMDb files under the biography, comedy and drama genres. Its comedy subtype is Dramedy.
450 IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, and those are the ones the calibrated score reads; a separate, broader pool of 512 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 134 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 3,069 other television series from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 The Great 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 450.
