Summary
After a virus wipes out nearly all of humanity, Phil Miller believes he is the last person alive and spends his days drinking and trashing abandoned mansions in Tucson. When other survivors slowly appear, Phil's dreams of repopulating the earth collide with the messy reality of cohabiting with people who don't much like him.
The Last Man on Earth is a 2015 action, comedy and drama television series. Inside comedy it is classed as Dark Comedy.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2010s television series — 3,236 of them. The calibrated figure is built from 319 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 350 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead.
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 Last Man on 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 319.
