Variety - The Best TV Shows of 2025

"Variety TV critics Aramide Tinubu and Alison Herman have each selected their 10 favorite shows from 2025, with an eclectic range of selections and two delightful crossovers. These picks span animated and live action series; true crime and talk shows; hospital emergency rooms and galaxies far, far away. What unites these disparate works is an eye for character, narrative and above all, quality. Whether romance or horror, comedy or high drama, each show has succeeded in standing out from a crowded field to be remembered as one of the best of the year."
