About this list
Best sci-fi and fantasy TV shows of all time lists the 25 highest-rated shows in the genre, 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. Game of Thrones leads with 9.9, and the list runs from 1959 to 2024, with an average score of 9.1. Only titles with plenty of votes qualify, so a film rated by a handful of people can't crowd out proven favourites. Open any title for its full score breakdown, cast, and where to stream, rent or buy it.
