The selection spans Apple TV, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Paramount+, Peacock and Prime Video. Use the service-by-service list below to find titles to investigate, then check your local catalog: a service heading in TechRadar’s article does not guarantee current availability in every region.
How TechRadar chose its 34 shows
TechRadar published the roundup on December 27, 2025, with an introduction by senior entertainment reporter Tom Power. Power says a show could qualify by meeting one or more of three criteria: being among 2025’s most-watched series, having a Rotten Tomatoes critical rating above 90%, or being a series the publication’s experts especially enjoyed despite its viewing figures and critical reception.
![Peanuts: 75th Anniversary Ultimate TV Specials Collection [Blu-ray]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51jjbeHMDIL._SL160_.jpg)
Those are alternative editorial criteria, not a claim that every show met all three. The article does not give a comparable audience figure or Rotten Tomatoes score for every selection, so its list should be read as an editorial roundup, not a data-based ranking or a complete scorecard.

How to use the list to choose what to watch
Start with the platform you can access, then narrow the options by the kind of viewing you want: a new series or a returning season, a genre or tone you enjoy, and the time you are ready to spend. The roundup groups titles by service, but does not provide a consistent comparison of genre, episode count, or viewing time for all 34 shows.
Before subscribing or settling on a title, search the service’s catalog in your region. The platform labels in the roundup are not a guarantee of current rights or availability, and the list does not establish that one subscription includes picks assigned to other services.
