About this list
Best crime TV shows on Max lists the 25 highest-rated shows you can stream there in the US right now, ranked by Lantern Score: one number on a 10-point scale that combines IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, so a title has to impress audiences and critics alike. The Sopranos leads with 9.6, and the list runs from 1997 to 2025, with an average score of 8.4. Only titles with plenty of votes qualify, so a film rated by a handful of people can't crowd out proven favourites. Streaming catalogues change, so the list is rebuilt every day.
