The 50 best TV shows of 2025: 50 to 41

Here is the article with the table of contents and the list of shows:

**Table of Contents**

* 40-31 coming soon
* Task
* The Traitors
* Am I Being Unreasonable?
* Gaza: Doctors Under Attack
* Task
* The Traitors
* 40-31 coming soon

**Show Reviews**

* **Am I Being Unreasonable?**: A riot of marital, sexual and social awkwardness (with a side order of murder and betrayal) came courtesy of Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli, who have created a worthy successor to Julia Davis's scabrous 2004 sitcom Nighty Night. Cooper stars as Nic, a woman juggling guilt, trauma and parenting catastrophe, still finding time for extramarital hi-jinks and yet somehow remaining deserving of sympathy, mainly because of the cavalcade of monsters around her.
* **Task**: This crime drama starring Mark Ruffalo as gone-to-seed cop Tom Brandis allocated a dangerous new assignment in Philadelphia certainly wasn't for the faint-hearted. But if you could handle the all-pervasive air of impending catastrophe, it was a fine, gritty, twisty procedural centred on stick-up merchants, biker gangs and the grim ramifications of the fentanyl trade.
* **The Traitors**: Before the celebrity version gave us Alan Carr, the third series of normies Traitors delivered Linda, AKA the worst/best traitor to ever roam the castle. Her head-turn when Claudia Winkleman said "traitors" wasn't the only golden moment. Charlotte's fake Welsh accent! Lisa the vicar's bare-faced lie about her job! The shock return of Alexander!
* **Gaza: Doctors Under Attack**: Has Mike Judge ever made a bad show? This is the question it was hard not to ponder while watching this impeccable animated thriller-comedy. The plot? A fungi expert discovers a mysterious mushroom that seems to cure all illness, and ill-advisedly tells his childhood crush Frances – who now works for big pharma.
* **Common Side Effects**: An intense downer, in the best possible way. This crime drama starring Mark Ruffalo as gone-to-seed cop Tom Brandis allocated a dangerous new assignment in Philadelphia certainly wasn't for the faint-hearted.
* **The Traitors (BBC One/iPlayer)**: As a study of human behaviour – of deception, manipulation, self-preservation – it remains captivating. As perhaps the best example of social experiment-style reality TV, it has cemented its place in the cultural firmament.
* **Doctors Under Attack**: The film the BBC couldn't broadcast. Thanks be, then, to Channel 4 for stepping into the breach and airing it – for this was an essential document of our times. Its unsparing look at the targeting of Palestinian medics showed a pattern that has emerged over the past two years at hospitals across Gaza.
* **Am I Being Unreasonable?**: Howlingly funny. This riot of marital, sexual and social awkwardness (with a side order of murder and betrayal) came courtesy of Daisy May Cooper and Selin Hizli, who have created a worthy successor to Julia Davis's scabrous 2004 sitcom Nighty Night.

**Coming Soon**

Stay tuned for the next episode.
 
Just got out of bed this morning and already feeling drained reading about doctors being attacked in Gaza 🤕😩. Can't even watch a show without knowing that medical staff are in harm's way, it's just too much. And now I have to wait another day for something new to happen... or not happen. It's always something with this world, right? 😒

I'm so down for the new shows! 🤩 Task sounds like a gripping procedural, and The Traitors is always entertaining with its social experiment vibes. But I've been missing some quality sitcoms lately... Am I Being Unreasonable? seems hilarious, though! 💀 Let's get ready for a binge-watching marathon! 📺
 
omg I love how chaotic that table of contents is 🤯 it's like they just threw all these show names together and hoped for the best 😂 but you know what? it kinda works! The way they jump back and forth between reviews, coming soon, and actual shows is super refreshing. I mean, who needs a boring old linear layout when you can have a good ol' fashioned mess? 🤪 also, can we talk about how cute the show titles are? "Am I Being Unreasonable?" 🤔 is literally my favorite title of the whole list
 
Omg can't wait for **Am I Being Unreasonable?**, that review is giving me all the feels 🤩 and I need more of Daisy May Cooper's sass ASAP! Also, how did Mike Judge even make a bad show like **Gaza: Doctors Under Attack**? It's literally impossible! The animation is so on point and the plot twist? Mind blown 💥
 
omg i'm low-key hyped for The Traitors 🤯 i mean, who doesn't love watching people get turned against each other in the castle? and linda aka the worst/best traitor EVER is gonna be a highlight! i need to check out Am I Being Unreasonable? ASAP too, because marital, sexual & social awkwardness with murder & betrayal sounds like a wild ride 🤪
 
omg i cant wait for Am I Being Unreasonable? it looks soooo funny 🤣 and honestly Task is giving me life with mark ruffalo as the gritty cop who's just trying to keep philly safe 🤝 the way the writers wove in all the dark stuff like the fentanyl trade without making it too preachy is straight fire 🔥
 
omg u guys i just watched Task with Mark Ruffalo 🤯 he's soooo good at playing detectives lol i felt like i was right there with him on this gritty Philly case 🌆 i have to say though, the show had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish 💀 but what really got me was when they talked about the fentanyl trade and how it affects families 🤕 my younger brother just started working in a pharmacy and he's always telling me about the crazy stuff he sees behind the counter 😳 anyway, can't wait for the next episode!!! 👏
 
I'm so done with all the trauma and awkwardness on TV lately 🤯. Shows like Am I Being Unreasonable? are always on my watchlist, but sometimes I feel like I need a break from all the drama 💁‍♀️. At least The Traitors is back, though! That show never fails to deliver some good ol' fashioned entertainment and social experiment vibes 📺. But what's up with all these crime dramas with Mark Ruffalo? Is it just me or are we getting a little too much Tom Brandis on our screens now? 😂
 
I'm really excited about the upcoming release of "Gaza: Doctors Under Attack" on Channel 4 🌎📰. As someone who's been following the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, it's concerning to see the targeting of Palestinian medics highlighted in this documentary-style series. It brings attention to an important issue that often gets overlooked in mainstream media. I'm curious to see how the show tackles this sensitive topic with accuracy and sensitivity 💡
