Here’s to the doctors, pilots, ORTBOs, hive minds and hockey players who stole our heart in 2025. These are the 15 best television shows of the year, from one fangirl (me!) to all of you.
Before we get started, I want to announce that biggest winner of 2025 was the weekly release. The majority of the shows that grabbed yours truly and general audiences were the ones that didn’t burden us with a binge drop. They stayed in the conversation for weeks. It’s simply a better way to consume and enjoy television. Let us all plea to the networks to keep that energy going in 2026 and beyond.
