I thought it would be boring af. To those of you who haven't seen it, DO! It's truly wonderful.
It’s no secret that television is one of the most common entertainment forms nowadays. The reason behind it is that watching TV or other video content releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin, chemicals that are known to cause good feelings, in a person’s brain. So, basically, we’re wired to enjoy our screens — no wonder it’s a popular way for people to spend their time.
Due to this, television needs to catch up and provide enough content for everyone with different tastes. That leads to new TV shows or new seasons of already existing ones airing basically every day.

The episode "Why We Fight" is one of the most heart wrenching hours of television I've ever watched.

I disagree. Really great acting and beautiful set work, but I feel like the story went on a season too long.
Here, for example, this list includes every new release of 2025, and there are 23 titles whose names start with A alone. Probably every letter has at least one TV show that airs or continues this year, and with 26 letters in the alphabet, imagine how many of them are on this list. And we’re pretty sure these are just Western ones; it doesn’t include other series from various countries.

MASH.

The Golden Girls.

I didn't get it when I was a kid. It just felt like a sitcom for really old people. I didn't know the ladies characters are in their 40s and 50s, which doesn't seem that old anymore. They were all made to look in their 60s, 70s and 80s. It's actually pretty funny show. My daughter enjoys it, too. Now that I'm old enough to understand the jokes.

Better Call Saul, even more so if you have watched BB before.
Since there are so many different shows airing, it’s impossible for all of them to be of a similarly good quality. So, from time to time, a show that might sound promising on paper fails to deliver good results. Sometimes they aren’t even that promising on paper, but still get released. And occasionally, even the TV shows that were great in the beginning fall short towards their end.
For the latter scenario, we could probably give a full list of TV shows that fell off despite being pretty nice (or even really great) at the start. Yet, we’re just going to give you a few examples.

How has no one mentioned mind hunter?
Any time this topic is brought up, the sitcom How I Met Your Mother is always mentioned. It went on for 9 seasons and it was beloved by fans. Then, the final episode aired and it ruined everything the last season (and even the whole show) had been building within the last couple of minutes. Now, a decade has passed since this finale and people still haven’t recovered (and we don’t think they ever will).
Another similar disgrace that viewers can’t forgive is Game Of Thrones. The finale season and the finale itself of this TV show lacked the emotional weight fans loved, it skewed the paths characters had taken and it ended up ruining the great series’ legacy. 6 years have passed since then and people are still salty.

A masterclass in world-building and character development. Episodes were 22 minutes long, but they packed in so much in that short period of time.

6 Feet Under.

Amazing show. I could rewatch it 100 times and still be in awe of it.
So, instead of focusing on such failures, today we gathered a list of TV shows that people online deem to be 10/10 from the beginning to the end. It includes such great titles as The Good Place, a sitcom about philosophy; Fleabag, a drama/comedy based on a one-woman show; and plenty of others.
You can simply enjoy the list by upvoting, add your examples in the comments, or even take it as a perfect “to watch later” collection. We encourage all of these choices, after all – the list is full of greatness!

Orphan Black. For my money, it’s the greatest sci-fi show virtually nobody has seen.
Tatiana Maslany, in particular, is transcendent on that show, playing clone after clone, each with different personalities and accents; then she has to play some of them having to impersonate each other…and it’s all so spectacularly done that never does your suspension of disbelief get challenged. She IS every one of those characters.
Simply masterful.

This was an excellent show. To know how she kept from confusing her characters.

Fleabag.

Season 1 is incredible only to arguably be topped by season 2, which was unthinkable at the time.

In the years it was on [The Americans] was one of the most tense, terrifying, and grounded shows on air. The performances, the art direction, the writing - all fantastic. An absolute triumph of vision from all of the creative team behind it.

A friend recommend this show to me. Really good show! I was approximately the age of the daughter in the show during that time period. The clothes, set decor, etc were spot on.

I loved the relationship between Raylan Givens and Boyd Crowder, but the best character was Mags Bennett in Season Two. Margo Martindale definitely deserved the Emmy for that performance!

This show was so good and strange and funny at the same time. The world they built was so good with all the weird rules about what you could do as an arch nemesis. Favorite episode is the one with the yard sale.

You put 'Game of We put Coffee Cups all over the Last Season Thrones' in your poll? That has the *worst* final season of any show ever.

Surface (2005-2006). This show needs to make a comeback. Those four people have been stranded on top of a building since February 6, 2006.

Very few older series made this list, but NYPD Blue definitely belongs on it. It was, and is, the best police drama.

I can't believe that out of all these, I've only seen MASH and Golden Girls. I'm guessing most must be from cable and I haven't had that in 25 years.

I've never even heard of most of these, and haven't seen most of the ones I have heard of.

Couple of Star Wars ones that aren't bad beside Andor. Bad Batch starts a little slow but picks up in season two and three every episode builds on each other. Plus they aren't afraid to k**l off some main characters. Star Wars Rebels the first season one of the main characters keeps doing stupid stuff, but by seasons 2-4 the story is better and it does help you understand Asoka a little more (Doesn't make Asoka great but you do understand the character's motivation).
