The Strain
Two parallel scores from 300 z-qualifying reviewers and 312 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 20-point gap is the rating-inflation signature for this title — discriminating reviewers liked it more than the casual crowd.

They soon discover the outbreak is not a virus but an ancient vampiric plague spreading through New York City. Joined by a Holocaust survivor who has battled the creatures before, they race to stop a malevolent strigoi master from consuming humanity.
