Several outlets have published lists of highly recommended tv shows, with some focusing on specific streaming platforms such as hulu, netflix, and apple tv. The number of shows included on these lists varies, ranging from 7 to over 100, and some lists appear to cover shows from a particular time period, such as 2026, while others seem to be more comprehensive. It is unclear which shows are universally considered the best, as different outlets have compiled different lists with different numbers of recommendations.
