25 Most Critically Acclaimed TV Shows Of All Time

1. Breaking Bad

Fargo
AMC

IMDb Score: 9.5

The critically adored and hugely successful TV series that made a global star out of Aaron Paul and ensured Brian Cranston wouldn't just be remembered as 'that guy that played Hal' in Malcolm In The Middle; Breaking Bad is as close to perfection as TV gets.

Aside from the flawless supporting cast, Cranston's transition from reserved family man Walter White to the uncompromising and ruthless meth cook Heisenberg is mesmerising to watch, and the series has undoubtedly set the bar as far as quality broadcasting is concerned.

It's a bar that may never be surpassed.
