Several outlets have published lists ranking fantasy tv shows, with some suggesting that a select few are better than popular series such as game of thrones, house of the dragon, and the lord of the rings: the rings of power. The exact number of superior shows is unclear, but five is a commonly cited figure. These lists appear to be part of a broader discussion about highly-regarded fantasy tv shows, with some outlets also highlighting new and upcoming series, as well as all-time rankings.
