The 27 best TV shows of the past 20 years, according to Rotten Tomatoes users

The Sopranos

In the age of peak TV, what shows make the cut as the best?

The past 20 years have blessed us with some of the greatest television series of all time, but Rotten Tomatoes wanted to figure out what shows (mostly) everyone agrees on.

Rotten Tomatoes surveyed people to find out, and the results are both shocking and expected.

"Game of Thrones" tops the list, which includes other HBO dramas like "The Wire" and "The Sopranos," and '90s sitcoms including "Friends" and "Seinfeld."

Does your favorite show make the list? Here are the 27 best shows of the past 20 years (along with their Rotten Tomatoes critic score and synopsis):

27. "Modern Family" (2009-) — 1%

Survey score: 1%

Critic score: 86%

Synopsis: A mockumentary-style sitcom chronicling the unusual kinship of the extended Pritchett clan, a brood that includes patriarch Jay; his younger Latina wife, Gloria, and her son; Jay's daughter, Claire, and her family; and Jay's son, Mitchell, who lives with his partner, Cameron.

26. "Arrested Development" (2003-) —1%

Survey score: 1%

Critic score: 87%

Synopsis: A young man leads his oddball family and their real-estate-development business following a securities-fraud fiasco that put the father in jail. This is an arrestingly sophisticated and sardonic sitcom, with deliciously deadpan narration and stylish flashbacks, about mostly self-absorbed characters at odds with one another and the world at large.

25. "Sex and the City" (1998-2004) — 1%

Survey score: 1%

Critic score: N/A

Synopsis: The story revolves around four sassy New-York based women, Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha who are in search of love, romance and long-lasting relationships.
