FALL 2021 TV SURVEY: 30 MOST BINGEABLE SHOWS

For Rotten Tomatoes’ annual Fall TV Survey, we asked our users what they’re most looking forward to in the coming TV season and to reflect on the best shows from seasons past. Over 1,000 of them got back to us with their picks for fall.

When we asked Rotten Tomatoes users which shows they find most bingeable, Stranger Things repeated its No. 1 performance from 2020, which was the first year we asked the question. The Netflix series is followed in the top 5 by The Mandalorian, Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and Schitt’s Creek. Nearly all of our titles have more than one season — with The Witcher season 2 coming this fall — though we do appreciate those of you who wrote in that you like to binge the one-season Disney+ shows Loki, WandaVision, and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, which together make an excellent Marvel binge!

Read on to find out all of Rotten Tomatoes users’ most anticipated movies on TV and streaming.
