Rotten Tomatoes keeps a running list of the top television show seasons of all time based on critics’ scores. So far there are 11 shows in 2020 that have earned the “Certified Fresh” stamp for having 100% positive reviews.

For the purposes of our list, we’ve rounded up all the “Certified Fresh” shows that have at least 10 critics’ reviews and appear on Rotten Tomatoes’ own list. (For a list of just the best Netflix originals in 2020, read our ranking here.)

Keep scrolling to see the shows that received a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes this year.

“Giri/Haji” (season one) — Netflix

Synopsis: “A Tokyo detective travels to London to look for his long lost younger brother, now believed to be posing as a Yakuza gangster and wanted for the murder of a Japanese businessman. His family’s honour, and the fragile peace between the warring gangs back home, is at stake.”

Critics’ Consensus: “Smart, suspenseful, and superbly shot, ‘Giri/Haji is a near-perfect crime thriller with a surprisingly sharp sense of humor.’”

The first show on our list requires a small caveat. “Giri/Haji” was a coproduction between Netflix and BBC Two. The whole first season premiere in the U.K. in October 2019, but didn’t come to Netflix for U.S. audiences until January 2020.

Since it wasn’t included in our 2019 roundup, and U.S. audiences only just got a chance to see its greatness this year, we’ve placed it here in our 2020 list.

“Schitt’s Creek” (season six) — PopTV

Critics’ Consensus: “Witty, warm, and with just the right blend of wisdom and wisecracks, ‘Schitt’s Creek’s’ final season is the perfect farewell to the Roses and the town that changed their lives.”

The sixth and final season of “Schitt’s Creek” premiered at the start of 2020, delighting fans and critics alike. The show earned several key nominations at the upcoming Emmy awards, including best comedy series, best lead and best supporting actress in a comedy, and more.

Critics’ Consensus: “As layered, loving, and laugh-out-loud funny as ever, ‘One Day at a Time’ successfully does the network shuffle without missing a beat.”

After “One Day at a Time” was canceled by Netflix in 2019, the beloved series was picked up by PopTV and brought back for a fourth season. Critics praised the seamless transition between networks and loved how the show managed to be as timely and heartfelt as ever.

Critics’ Consensus: “Bat! ‘What We Do In the Shadows’ loses no steam in a smashing second season that savvily expands its supernatural horizons while doubling down on the fast flying fun.”

This comedy series is based on a movie of the same name, which was cocreated by Jemaine Clement (“Flight of the Concords”) and Taika Waititi (“Jojo Rabbit,” “Thor: Ragnarok”).

“Feel Good” is a fantastic new, easy-to-binge series on Netflix. The first season is just six total episodes, each about 25 minutes long, which means it falls squarely into the trend of short-TV that’s dominating the media landscape right now.

Netflix’s six-episode miniseries highlights the personal stories of asylum seekers and immigrant families trying to maneuver through the complex policies and discriminations built into American’s current systems. Critics were impressed by the documentary’s up-close access to detention centers and ICE field offices, and the powerful presentation of the complete picture of US immigration.

Showtime’s limited series premiered in October to strong reviews from critics, who say the show nails its tone and has a standout cast.
