We Own This City
Scored from 164 calibrated IMDb reviewers, each re-centered on their own rating baseline before the title is ranked. Cohort: TV Mini Series · 2020s (1,094 peers).
Summary
A six-part miniseries chronicling the rise and fall of the Baltimore Police Department's Gun Trace Task Force, an elite plainclothes unit whose officers robbed citizens, falsified overtime, and planted evidence under the banner of aggressive crime-fighting. Drawn from Justin Fenton's nonfiction book, the series interweaves the federal investigation with the broader collapse of trust between the city and its police in the wake of Freddie Gray.
Released in 2022, We Own This City is a biography, crime and drama miniseries.
The calibrated figure is built from 164 reviewers whose rating history varies enough to place their own average. A broader pool of 171 reviewers with two or more reviews feeds the raw-average track instead. Rotten Tomatoes carries a separate audience for the same title, 34 of whom clear the calibration test. 1,093 other miniseries from the 2020s form the cohort it is ranked inside.
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 We Own This City 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 Mini Series · 2020s (1,094 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 164.
