If you haven’t been outside much over the first 4 1/2 months of 2025, it’s totally understandable; some of the best TV shows in years have been released, giving you plenty of reason to stay indoors. With The Studio, Adolescence, and Severance, Apple TV+ and Netflix have produced the year’s most talked-about shows, while series like The Pitt, Paradise, and Dying For Sex have turned medical disasters, governmental coups, and liberating orgasms some of the most compelling TV of the year. To have fully kept up with the best of the best on TV, the outside world would need to be an afterthought. But at least you’d be able to see Wilson Fisk (Vincent D’Onofrio) break a man’s skull with his hands.
With so many great TV shows out in 2025, it can be tough to know where to start. These are the 14 you need to watch now if you haven’t already.
