Rotten Tomatoes has been tracking a list of the best shows of 2025<\/a>, based on its own critic scores, and it\u2019s just made an announcement that a new series has arrived at #1 on the site.<\/p>\n If you\u2019ve been paying attention to recent TV releases, you may guess that it\u2019s Pluribus, the new Apple TV series created by Vince Gilligan of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul fame. Pluribus just debuted this past Friday and has racked up a perfect 100% score<\/a> from dozens and dozens of critics, putting it on top even among more than ten other shows that have perfect critic scores this year.<\/p>\n With a bunch of other shows tied with 100% scores, how has Pluribus come out on top? It would seem the ranking order is due to how many critic reviews are in for each show. It\u2019s much harder to maintain a perfect 100% score when you have 74 reviews in like Pluribus, compared to Ballard\u2019s 22, for instance. You want to see the list? Here\u2019s the top 20, if you\u2019re looking for things to watch:<\/p>\n 1) Pluribus season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 2) Pee-Wee As Himself (miniseries) \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 3) The Chair Company season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 4) The Narrow Road to the Deep North (miniseries) \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 5) Long Story Short season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 6) Platonic season 2 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 7) Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light season 2 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 8) Common Side Effects season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 9) Code of Silence season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 10) North of North season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 11) Ballard season 1 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 12) The Righteous Gemstones season 4 \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 13) Toxic Town (miniseries) \u2013 100%<\/p>\n 14) Asura season 1- 100%<\/p>\n 15) Dying for Sex (miniseries) \u2013 98%<\/p>\n 16) Mr. Scorsese (miniseries) \u2013 98%<\/p>\n 17) King of the Hill season 14 \u2013 98%<\/p>\n 18) The Lowdown season 1 \u2013 98%<\/p>\n 19) Reacher season 3 \u2013 98%<\/p>\n 20) The Rehearsal season 2 \u2013 98%<\/p>\n If you want to know which of these has the highest audience score, that would be Asura with a 94%. Pee-Wee, Common Side Effects, Mr. Scorsese, King of the Hill and The Rehearsal all have above a 90%. Pretty much every show here that is in season 1 has been renewed for season 2. I think almost all the non-miniseries have been, short of The Righteous Gemstones, where that was the series finale. <\/p>\n My favorites in this list would be Pluribus, The Chair Company, Common Side Effects, The Righteous Gemstones, The Lowdown and The Rehearsal. I didn\u2019t think Reacher was particularly good this season so a 98% seems rather insane to me.<\/p>\n It is possible that Pluribus could be knocked down, as it only takes a single negative review, and sometimes critics want to be \u201cthat guy.\u201d For now though, perfect, and even if not, absolutely a must-watch.<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>,<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series<\/a> and The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
