The Rookie
Two parallel scores from 662 z-qualifying reviewers and 703 raw-average reviewers. Cohort: TV Series · 2010s (3,236 peers).
Z-normalized corrects for reviewer bias (every reviewer re-centered onto their personal scale). Raw average uses simple mean across the broader pool including stddev=0 reviewers. The 16-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — discriminating reviewers liked it more than the casual crowd.
