Just like last year, the first half of 2026 has revealed a dearth of quality TV, which could easily make its way in the year-end list. From new discoveries to returning series either continuing on their journeys or ending entirely, we’ve been spoiled for choices in the first half of the year, and the second half is looking equally promising. Of course, there are still blind spots which I plan on catching up to, but I still feel confident that the list below is the best TV of 2026 so far.

Honorable Mentions:

• The Bear, “Gary”
• The Boys
• Cape Fear
• Daredevil: Born Again
• Hacks
• Margo’s Got Money Troubles
• Spider-Noir
• Shrinking
• Welcome to Wrexham
• Wonder Man
