[UPDATED] Top 100 Best TV Shows according to IMDb, RottenTomatoes, Metacritic and TMDB. How many shows from this list have you watched and which do you recommend the most?
EDIT: THIS POST IS OUTDATED. BUT YOU CAN SEE THE UPDATED LIST HERE Full quality image here because Reddit compresses the image in the app. (edit: I just updated the image because The Last Kingdom's country was wrong on the original image. It is correct now.) I just added Ratingraph ratings as you suggested. So this is the updated ranking. I finished 43 shows from this list. I'd like to hear how many shows you've finished and which ones you recommend. This list only includes shows from 1997-2024 (edit: but the top 3 best old shows are Dekalog (1989) with 8.93 overall rating, Mr Bean (1990) with 8.90 and The Twilight Zone (1959) with 8.82). This list does not include ongoing shows (edit: the best ongoing show is Heartstopper with 8.86 overall rating. My Brilliant Friend with 8.71 is the best ongoing show that is already renewed to its final season). Honorable mentions: This Is Us, Legion and Dopesick tied with Penny Dreadful at 100th. Honorable mentions 2: Crash Landing on You has a 9.12 overall rating and it would be good enough to be 3rd on this list. Young Royals has a 8.94 overall rating, that would be good enough to get 9th place. Detectorists has a 8.86 overall rating and Utopia UK has a 8.84 overall rating (both good enough to be 11th on this list). But these shows do not have a page on Metacritic, so their score is based only on IMDb, Rottentomatoes, TMDB and Ratingraph ratings. There are many highly rated foreign shows that could be on this list, but unfortunately most of them do not have critic ratings on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. That's why this list is mostly American-British. Edit: I missed This Is Going to Hurt. It is a British miniseries with 8.50 overall rating, so it should be in the Top 100. More on reddit.com

4 weeks ago - The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is juicy gossip in TV form. The hit reality series (it's Hulu's most-watched unscripted series ever, much bigger than The Kardashians) follows a group of Mormon moms who are TikTok influencers and get up to all kinds of drama, like "soft-swinging" and erroneously claiming to be related to Ben Affleck (Jen Affleck wasn't lying, exactly; it's more that she was misinformed and exaggerating).

March 22, 2025 -

I always see people lament how they have nothing to watch. There's nothing new, there's nothing good..or like they'll sample only two or three they say are ok to watch but it's opposite for me I have so many I like I'm having a hard time finishing...I can't keep up tbh I have a bunch of lists on my phone and my watchlist is full 😩 I also have a lot of free time so I get why I have so much time to insert them all lol so just curious about you all's lists for the ongoing/new shows. I'll write mine but without the Finished/Cancelled/Miniseries/Kdrama shows because that's a lot as well (don't even get me started on anime that's a whole other list)

Some of mine which are mostly Netflix since that's where we have most shows where I'm from:

911, Stranger Things, Bridgerton, One Piece LA, The Night Agent, 3 Body Problem, Chicago PD, Law and Order SVU, Black Doves, Wednesday, Beef, A Man on the Inside, Pokemon Concierge, Atla LA, Sandman, YOU, Heartstopper, Black Mirror, Jentry Chau, Blue Eyed Samurai, The Empress, Alice in Borderland, Outlast, Sugar Rush

other shows I'm interested in but have yet to start:

Lincoln Lawyer, Supacell, Residence, XO Kitty, The Gentlemen, Survival of the Thickest, Fubar, Nobody Wants This, Running Point, Geek Girl, Lupin, Law According to Lidia Poet, Squid Games, One Hundred Years of Solitude, Midnight at Pera Palace

Okay that's not the full list but I guess you guys get the gist 😔 I need to touch grass sometimes. Recently branching out to Prime as well but have yet to properly check their shows.
