Best TV Shows of 2011
Ranked by our critic's grades, best first.
Game of ThronesTelevision's last true monoculture: peerless craft and casting, undone at the end by its own plotting.Read the review
Black MirrorAn anthology with four of the best hours of the century, and peaks high enough to outweigh a floor that keeps dropping.
EnlightenedLaura Dern plays the most irritating person on television and makes you love her anyway, which is the entire trick.
HomelandTwo of the best seasons any thriller has managed, then six more spent hunting for that shape again.
SuitsSlick, formulaic and irresistible, which is how a nine season cable drama, four years off the air, broke streaming records in 2023.
Teen WolfThree good seasons of teen horror, then three more that keep going out of habit.
