[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EDIT: THIS POST IS OUTDATED.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

Hollywood Reporter Critics Pick the 50 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century (So Far)
August 20, 2025 - Harried fictional showrunner Liz Lemon (Fey) could have been too nerdy, too feral to lead a primetime TV series in the early aughts. But the platonic chemistry between Fey and Alec Baldwin, who plays her debonaire network exec boss/foil Jack Donaghy, transforms the clever joke machine into a treatise on professional growth and leadership. Comedy duo Fey and Amy Poehler produced two of the most beloved sitcoms of the era, but whereas Poehler’s Parks and Recreation maintained that life could be sweet, Fey’s 30 Rock always anticipated the sour.

But Nielsen is widely seen as providing the most accurate streaming service data, and it has now revealed the top 10 most-watched shows of 2025. When it comes to comparing one TV show’s success against another’s, it depends a lot on the streaming platform.
