\nLet’s have a look at what ANN readers consider the best (and worst) of the season,
\nbased on the polls you can find in our Daily Streaming Reviews<\/a>
\nand on the Your Score<\/a> page with the latest simulcasts.\n<\/p>\n

\nKeep in mind that these rankings are based on how people rated individual episodes of the current season, not on the overall quality or popularity of the series.
\nOnly the titles legally streaming in North America and popular enough are being ranked, so the bottom of the list might represent ‘watchable’ rather than ‘bad’.
\nSeries that lack enough user votes will not qualify for the ranking.
\nSee the notes<\/a> for further details.\n<\/p>\n

Episode Rankings for the week of November 19-25
\nAlong the actual ranking for this week’s episodes, this graph chronicles the change in position from week to week.
\nWhile some series are stable, others swing wildly in the rankings depending on the strength of each episode.
\nWhen a series has no episode for a given week, the previous week’s episode is used instead as a placeholder.
\nThe first episode of each series is considered as part of the first week, even if it really streamed during the second week.

Series Cumulative Ranking as of November 25
\nEach week’s ranking takes into account the scores given to previous weeks’ episodes.
\nAs we reach closer to the end of the season, each series’ rank will start to solidify and we’ll get a look at the real winners and losers.

Notes<\/p>\n

\nDisclaimer: the rankings are just an average of opinions, published for entertainment and information purposes.
\nANN makes no claims regarding statistical significance or invulnerability to spam.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe rankings are computed using the Ranked pairs method<\/a>,
\nwith the variation that unrated titles are considered as abstentions instead of lower than the rated titles.
\nThis roughly means that if, out of all people who rated both A and B, 60% preferred A, it will be ranked higher than B.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe rankings indicate relative quality (A is preferred to B), not absolute quality (B is good\/bad).
\nWhile the titles are ranked from ‘best’ to ‘worst’, sometimes the difference between #1 and #10 can be very thin.
\nSo if your favorite is near the bottom of the list, don’t take it personally.
\nIt doesn’t mean it’s a bad show, it just means that ANN readers, on average, have preferred the ones above.\n<\/p>\n

\nIf a series has no episode for a given week, we use the rating data for the previous week’s episode in order to compute the weekly ranking.
\nThis is not officially counted as a position in the ranking (it has no impact on the cumulative ranking), but it makes it easier to compare weeks if they each have the same number of series ranked.\n<\/p>\n

\nIt should be noted that long-running series (and sequels) have an advantage in the sense that only people who like the series are still watching it, and they are likely to give each episode a high rating.
\nBut if such a series is going through a low-quality filler arc, the season will get low rankings that are not indicative of the true overall quality of the series.
\nConversely, there are fewer people rating the show so it’s less likely to have enough votes to qualify for the ranking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let’s have a look at what ANN readers consider the best (and worst) of the season, based on…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":162081,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[156,111,139,69,437],"class_list":{"0":"post-162080","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-new-zealand","10":"tag-newzealand","11":"tag-nz","12":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162080","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=162080"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/162080\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/162081"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=162080"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=162080"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=162080"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
