Summary
When astronomers detect a signal from a distant star, it heralds the arrival of a hostile alien force that devastates Earth within minutes. Scattered survivors across Europe - a neuroscientist in London, a French family in the Alps, and others - must navigate the ruins, evade the invaders, and uncover why the attack happened and what the aliens truly want.
War of the Worlds (2019) is a television series IMDb files under the drama, mystery and science-fiction genres.
The calibrated figure is built from 673 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 708 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 25 of whom clear the calibration test. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 3,235 2010s television series, not against the whole corpus.
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 War of the Worlds 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 673.
