I watch a lot of TV.<\/a> It\u2019s my job. And in all my years of binge-watching shows<\/a> for a living, I have never seen so many viral videos of people gathered together in bars simultaneously yelling<\/a> in reaction to major TV moments than I have this year. In the age of streaming, appointment TV was back and watch parties were bigger<\/a> than ever. Whether it was Nicolandria\u2019s Soul Ties kiss<\/a> (IYKYK), the king of yearning Conrad Fisher<\/a> finally getting his happily ever after, or a grand gesture from a gay hockey player<\/a> no one saw coming, TV lovers came together this year to obsess over their fave \u2018ships and root for their beloved characters. And it was beautiful to witness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In a year that felt endlessly chaotic and packed with horrific headlines, TV stepped up as our most reliable emotional support system. 2025 gave us shows that made us scream-text the group chat, cancel plans for just one more episode<\/em>, and rethink everything from love, to friendship, to what counts as a satisfying finale. Whether you were into prestige dramas<\/a>, comfort watches<\/a>, or genre shows that completely rewired the formula, this year\u2019s best TV did not disappoint. Below are the series that defined our screens, our moods, and cured our collective cultural brain rot.<\/p>\n

These picks come straight from the watchlists (and our unhinged yet professional Slack chats) of Refinery29 editors. The criteria isn\u2019t \u201chigh-brow only,\u201d it\u2019s did this show fully consume us?<\/em> From series that demanded our full attention to reality TV that went from chaotic to comforting to culturally essential, we\u2019re honoring the full spectrum of what great TV looks like. If it sparked a debate, delivered a meme, or made us feel something unexpectedly real, it earned its spot.\u00a0<\/p>\n
