Let’s take a look at what ANN readers think are the best (and worst) shows of the season, based on the polls you’ll find on our daily streaming reviews and Our Scores page, which includes the latest simulcasts.
Remember, these rankings are based on people’s ratings individual plot of current seasonrather than the overall quality or popularity of the series. Only films that are legal to stream in North America and popular enough will be ranked, so the bottom of the list might represent “watchable” rather than “bad.” See notes for more details.

Episode rankings for the week of November 12-18
This chart records weekly ranking changes, along with the actual ranking of this week’s episodes. While some episodes are solid, others fluctuate wildly in their rankings based on the strength of each episode. When a series has no episodes for a given week, the previous week’s episodes are used as placeholders. The first episode of each series is considered part of the first week, even if it does air in the second week.

notes
Disclaimer: Rankings are simply an average of opinions and are published for entertainment and information purposes only. ANN makes no claim to be statistically significant or free from spam.
Ranking is calculated using the ranked pair method, unrated titles are considered abstain rather than below the rated title. this approximately Meaning if 60% of all people who rate A and B prefer A, then A will be ranked higher than B.
Ranking shows relative quality (A is better than B), rather than absolute Quality (B is good/bad). While the titles are ordered from “best” to “worst,” sometimes the difference between first and tenth place can be very small. So if your favorite product is near the bottom of the list, don’t take it personally. That doesn’t mean it’s a bad show, it just means that ANN readers, on averageprefer the ones above.
If a series has no episodes in a given week, we use viewership data from the previous week’s episodes to calculate weekly rankings. This doesn’t officially count as position in the rankings (it has no impact on cumulative rankings), but it makes it easier to compare weeks if they have the same number of series per ranking.
It should be noted that long-running series (and sequels) have an advantage in that only people who liked the series are still watching it, and they are likely to rate each episode highly. But if a series like this is experiencing low-quality filler arcs, then the season will receive a lower ranking, which is not indicative of the true overall quality of the series. Conversely, fewer people rate a show, so it’s less likely there will be enough votes to qualify for a ranking.
