Description:
2025 has been jam-packed with top-tier TV shows here are TechRadar's
favorite ones of the last 12 months.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

It's been another packed year of terrific TV shows. Indeed, the world's best streaming services have given us plenty of must-see series to watch over the past 12 months and we thought we'd tell you what our favorite ones were.

To book a spot on this list, shows had to meet one or more of these criteria: be one of the most-watched series of 2025, hold a critical rating on Rotten Tomatoes (RT) above 90%, and/or just be one that our experts thoroughly enjoyed in spite of their viewing figures and critical reception.

Two final bits of housekeeping: one, you'll find our choices categorized by the streamer they released on. And, two, we couldn't write about every
program we enjoyed this year, so you'll find a 'best of the rest' selection
at the end of each section. If your favorite show of 2025 might be
highlighted there instead. So, without further ado, here are TechRadar's 34 top TV picks for the year that was.
