Some notes: * This year’s #1 show Severance was last year’s #7 show despite not airing during 2024, and not since 2022! * Last year’s #1 show Shogun didn’t make the list! But with the exception of a select few, the vast majority of shows that didn’t air this year aren’t on the list. * Slow Horses is the only other show to crack the top 10 in back to back years.
