Upload
Scored from 679 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Series · 2020s (3,070 peers).
Summary
In a near-future where the dying can upload their consciousness into luxury digital afterlives, a young app developer is hastily uploaded to the upscale Lakeview after a suspicious self-driving car crash. He navigates his new virtual existence while forming a connection with Nora, his living customer service 'angel,' who begins to suspect his death was not an accident.
Released in 2020, Upload is a comedy, mystery and science-fiction television series. Its comedy subtype is Dramedy.
Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,069 2020s television series, not against the whole corpus. 679 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 740 reviewers with at least two reviews each feeds the raw-average track. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 252 Rotten Tomatoes reviewers clear the same calibration test, and Rankquant scores them separately.
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 Upload 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 679.
