In an era defined by “peak TV,” it can feel impossible to determine which shows truly stand out as the greatest. However, the Internet Movie Database (IMDb), one of the world’s largest film and TV databases, has compiled a definitive ranking based on the ratings of millions of users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The “IMDb Top 250 TV Shows” is a rigorous list that ranks series based on their user scores. By analyzing this list, we can identify the 5 fictional series that global audiences have enshrined as the best ever made. (Note: documentaries were excluded, but acclaimed miniseries are included for accuracy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
