Summary
In an alternate 1962 where the Axis powers won World War II, the United States is divided between the Greater Nazi Reich in the east and the Japanese Pacific States in the west, with a neutral zone between. When a young woman inherits mysterious newsreels depicting an Allied victory, she is drawn into a resistance movement and a hunt for the elusive figure known as the Man in the High Castle.
The Man in the High Castle is a 2015 drama, science-fiction and thriller television series.
3,235 other television series from the 2010s form the cohort it is ranked inside. The calibrated figure is built from 641 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 672 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 309 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 The Man in the High Castle 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 641.
