Time Bandits
Scored from 100 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 time-traveling group of thieves journeys through history to prevent a catastrophic war, based on Terry Gilliam's cult classic 1981 film.
Released in 2024, Time Bandits is an adventure, comedy and fantasy television series. It was made in the United States. It is rated TV-14. Its comedy subtype is Dark Comedy. A typical episode runs 60 minutes.
The cohort it is ranked inside is 2020s television series — 3,070 of them. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 55 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately. 100 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 108 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track.
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 Time Bandits 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 100.
