The year’s best TV shows may have mostly been adaptations, remakes, or spinoffs, but that doesn’t make them anything less than great. That may be what characterized TV in 2024: shows that took old ideas and spun them into something fresh. Whether that be an adaptation of a post-apocalyptic video game led by an oddly sexy irradiated cowboy, a remake of an iconic samurai epic, or a spinoff of an iconic Batman villain, the best TV shows this year offered something new and exciting.
Using highly scientific methods (which included making our own personal rankings and mushing them together), the Inverse Entertainment team put our heads together to compile the best TV shows of the year.
