The New York Times’ 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century: Did They Get It Right?

This video explores The New York Times’ 100 Best TV Shows of the 21st Century, bringing together some of the most acclaimed, influential, memorable, and talked-about television series of the modern era. From crime dramas and political thrillers to comedies, science fiction, limited series, documentaries, and groundbreaking streaming productions, this ranking takes viewers on a journey through the television shows that have helped define the 21st century. In this video, you will follow a countdown from #100 to #1, exploring the full list of 100 television shows selected by The New York Times. The ranking features some of the biggest shows of the past two decades, including Breaking Bad, The Wire, Mad Men, Succession, Fleabag, Game of Thrones, The Office, Atlanta, Better Call Saul, Black Mirror, Severance, Stranger Things, The Bear, Ted Lasso, and many more. At the very top of the list is Breaking Bad, followed by The Wire and Mad Men. The ranking also includes a mixture of critically acclaimed productions, cult favourites, major network television hits, streaming successes, and shows that have had a lasting influence on popular culture. One of the interesting things about a list like this is just how much television has changed since the beginning of the 21st century. The rise of premium cable, streaming platforms, limited series, and international television has dramatically expanded what audiences watch and how television is produced. The list also reflects the changing definition of what makes a television show culturally important. Some entries became global phenomena, while others developed smaller but extremely passionate fan bases. Some changed the way television tells stories, while others simply became exceptionally good examples of their genre. But there is one big question: Did The New York Times get the ranking right? There are also some very popular television shows that are missing from the top 100 entirely. That makes this ranking even more interesting and, inevitably, controversial. A show being absent does not necessarily mean it is considered poor television, but it does raise an important question about what criteria were used to determine which shows deserved a place on the list. Throughout the video, you can decide for yourself whether the rankings make sense. Perhaps your favourite show made the list. Perhaps it is ranked much lower than you expected. Or perhaps one of your all-time favourite shows did not make the list at all. What do you think? 💬 Is your favourite TV show on the list? 📺 Which shows do you think should have been included but were left out? 🔥 Do you agree with Breaking Bad being ranked #1? 👇 Let us know in the comments. It would be interesting to see which shows viewers believe were underrated, overrated, or completely overlooked. The ranking presented in this video follows the list published by The New York Times. The video is intended to provide an easy-to-follow visual countdown of the ranking and encourage discussion about some of the most significant television shows of the 21st century.
