We all love a good TV show, right? And there is a good reason for it.
TV shows have progressed so much in the past 20 years. They offer continuous entertainment, unlike going to the movies.
The most critically acclaimed television shows in history have earned their accolades by consistently delivering creative and memorable seasons. Critics have regularly praised shows like "The Wire," "Breaking Bad," and "The Sopranos," and their best seasons have set the bar for what great television should be.
But what about regular people? What do they think?
We are not critics or experts, and we don’t view the movies and shows with the same eyes. We just want good quality fun.
Something to keep us pinned to the screen, waiting to see what happens next. We don’t analyze the show or divide it into small details to examine individually.
No, we look at the whole picture, the whole package. People love discussing their favorite shows on the internet and we have collected 20 of the highest-rated TV show seasons, according to the average, but passionate viewers.
Take look at our list, you might be surprised. One thing is certain – you will find inspiration for your next binge night.
Let us begin:
1. Season 1 of Watchmen
"It ended up being the only season, but it was so well put together and didn't leave any loose ends. It's very thought-provoking."
2. Season 1 of Heroes
"Every character was so well developed and the plot was just amazing."
3. Season 5 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine
"It's a masterpiece. The most glorious season of the most glorious show of all time. It has love, compassion, and it's so fucking funny."
4. Season 2 of Fleabag
"It just doesn’t compete. Brilliant writing and acting.
It’s something you can watch over and over and find little things, quirks, moments, and lines you missed the first times."
5. Season 1 of Sweet/Vicious
"It's only one season because sadly, it got canceled. The show is about two college girls who become vigilantes because their school doesn't do anything for sexual assault reports, so they take matters into their own hands.
It tackles a serious subject, but it's also really funny, and smart, and has a lot of heart. There is a little cliffhanger (which will never get resolved), but all in all, the season wraps up nicely and the ending is SO satisfying.
I will say, if sexual assault is a trigger for you, parts of this show might be hard to watch."
6. Season 1 of LOST
"I can still feel the chills of the unknown. An absolute masterpiece."
7. Season 3 of The X-Files
"It has so many great standalone episodes."
8. Season 2 of Alias
"So much goes down and there is never a boring moment. It’s also when Sydney Bristow is at her most badass."
9. Season 1 of Prison Break
"It was the most beautifully executed season in TV history. So entertaining."
10. Season 1 of Riverdale
"It's absolutely amazing, but the other seasons after are just okay. The cast is amazing and I could not imagine anyone else playing the roles."
11. Season 6 of Game of Thrones
"Every character’s storyline is captivating, where in other seasons sometimes it feels dragged on. I don’t think you can get much better than the Battle of the Bastards, Bran seeing the truth of the past, Cersei taking back control over the Red Sparrow, Arya's journey, and Daenerys setting sail to Westeros all in one season!"
12. Season 1 of Survivor
"It was so original. It changed television and paved the way for reality TV."
13. Season 8 of One Tree Hill
"I loved how it showed the adult lives of the characters that we had been introduced to during their high school years."
14. Season 1 of Breaking Bad
"It's the best season of the show. Pacing is great, the plot is interesting, and it keeps you engaged at every moment."
15. Season 4 of Castle
"Unbearably incredible sexual tension, and some of the most entertaining murder cases."
16. Season 1 of American Horror Story
"Some of the other seasons are awesome but I feel like I could watch Murder House for the rest of my life and not get bored of it. The characters are especially well written — I don’t know if I should love them or hate them because they’re so complex.
It’s heart-wrenching and terrifying at the same time, I love it.
17. Season 4 of Dexter
"John Lithgow's performance was absolutely perfect and convincing, and I am so excited when I get to it every year during my annual Dexter rewatch."
18. Season 1 of Big Little Lies
"I get the chills every time I hear 'Cold Little Hearts.'"

19. Season 1 of Haunting of Hill House
"What a perfect blend of horror and a grieving family. It was an emotional sucker punch with a genuinely effective scare factor. When I think of a masterpiece season, that one always comes to mind."
20. Season 5 of Angel
"Spike is easily the best character in the franchise and his banter with Angel was 11/10. The last episode crushed me, but it was a work of genius."
Movies are great, but they are a one-deal (MCU excluded). You don’t have time to get attached to the characters, the movie's duration limits its ability to draw you into the story (all praise to the exceptions).
That’s where TV shows shine. They provide us with great entertainment week after week.
And we hope it never stops.
