EDIT: THIS POST IS OUTDATED.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.
