Win or Lose
Scored from 36 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
Pixar's first original long-form series for Disney+ tracks a middle-school co-ed softball team, the Pickles, through the week before their championship game. Each of its eight episodes replays that same week from a different person's vantage — among them Laurie, a pitcher whose nerves work against her arm, and her father Dan, who coaches the team — so a moment glimpsed in passing in one episode becomes the center of the next. The animation changes style with each narrator and externalizes private feeling: Laurie's anxiety appears as a clammy, sweat-soaked creature that shadows her. Carrie Hobson and Michael Yates created the series.
Win or Lose (2025) is a miniseries IMDb files under the animation, comedy and family genres. A typical episode runs 25 minutes. It was made in the United States.
Only 36 of its IMDb reviewers rate with enough spread for a personal baseline to be measured, so the calibrated figure rests on a thin sample; a broader pool of 38 reviewers with at least two reviews feeds the raw-average track. Its in-cohort standing is measured against the other 1,093 2020s miniseries, not against the whole corpus. A second review pool sits behind it as well: 45 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 Win or Lose 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 36.
