The best series of 2024
Ranked by rating across the catalog.
2024 delivered a genuinely eclectic slate of TV — animated epics, taut domestic dramas, reality formats with real spark, and weekend political talk with a sharp ensemble. The picks span animation and drama, Asia and the Americas, stripped-back character work and planet-scale spectacle. What holds them together is commitment: each series goes all-in on its premise, whether that's a colossal object breaching Earth's defences in 2207 or a florist whose comfortable marriage unravels with a single letter.
