Eclectic lists of SF & F TV shows

I previously pointed to some lists of SF & F movies. Now it’s time for TV shows.

From Entertainment Weekly, they put The Twilight Zone at the top:

The 30 best sci-fi shows of all time, ranked

From Peter Sykes on Sci-Fi Lists, he put Battlestar Galactica 2003 at the top:

Top 100 Sci-Fi TV Shows

From Wilson Chapman on IndieWire, he put Black Mirror at the top:

The 25 Best Sci-Fi TV Series of the 21st Century, Ranked

From Rolling Stone, they also include fantasy and they put Star Trek at the top:

50 Best Science Fiction TV Shows of All Time

From Den of Geek, they list 40 shows, also include fantasy, and put Battlestar Galactica 2003 at the top:

Best Sci-Fi TV Shows of the 21st Century

From Benedetta Geddo on The Mary Sue, she puts Games of Thrones and House of the Dragon at the top:

22 Best Fantasy TV Series of All Time

From Popular Mechanics, they also include fantasy and I’m not sure which show they intended to put at the top. They have Star Trek at #38 but in the text it says it’s “number six” so I believe the editors messed up the order that the authors made (if the list is just backwards and “number six” is off by seven then The Outer Limits is at the top). But it’s still an interesting list:
