From HBO’s return to Westeros in the Game of Thrones prequel House of the Dragon to AMC’s ultimate farewell to Jimmy McGill/Saul Goodman in the final season of Better Call Saul, there was no shortage of interesting TV shows to watch in 2022. Although each person has their own tastes, IMDb has done the math and determined that these are the top 10 series of 2022 based on the actual page views of its more than 200 million monthly users.

Better Call Saul
In 2022, the critically acclaimed precursor to AMC’s Breaking Bad released its sixth and final season, concluding Jimmy McGill’s saga. With many devastating deaths, appearances by Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul, and a standout performance from guest star Carol Burnett as the Nebraska woman who upends Saul’s life in hiding, the two-part final season of Better Call Saul was an emotional rollercoaster.
Euphoria
Early in 2022, the second season of HBO’s drama about a group of troublesome high school students premiered. The program, which features Zendaya as adolescent drug user Rue, was nominated for an Emmy in the category of outstanding drama series and ranked No. 5 on IMDb.
Inventing Anna
The Dropout on Hulu, WeCrashed on Apple TV, and Inventing Anna on Netflix made 2022 the year of the con artist on television. In the latter, it is told how a con woman from Germany named Anna Delvey defrauded prominent New Yorkers of hundreds of thousands of dollars. IMDb lists it as one of the best shows of the year. Julia Garner, who played Delvey, received an Emmy nomination as a result.
Moon Knight
She-Hulk and Ms. Marvel were among the new episodes added to Disney+’s Marvel Cinematic Universe in 2022. However, Moon Knight generated the most buzz. Oscar Isaac plays a troubled guy with dissociative identity disorder who has an odd bond to the Egyptian moon god Khonsu in the limited series.
Ozark
The last season of the Netflix crime thriller starring Jason Bateman and Laura Linney about a couple that turns to crime while fleeing a drug gang was released in 2022. There is little doubt that fans were moved by the Marty and Wendy Byrde saga’s finale. Ozark came in at number nine on this list. Additionally, it helped Garner win the 2022 Emmy for outstanding supporting actress in a drama series for her portrayal of the obnoxious Ruth Langmore.
Stranger Things
Was there any doubt as to which show will rank first on IMDb? With well over a billion viewing hours, Stranger Things Season 4 is Netflix’s most watched season ever. The expansive season saw Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) and her allies battle their most horrifying foe yet, the skin-crawlingly nasty Vecna, with various plotlines taking place in Hawkins, Indiana; California; and Russia.
The Boys
In 2022, The Boys, a provocative comedy about a future in which superheroes have transformed into dishonest celebrities, returned for a third season. The Boys became one of the most watched TV dramas of the year thanks to its graphic, violent portrayal of “supes” and the vigilantes who want to take them down.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
In 2022, Amazon placed a costly wager with its live-action Lord of the Rings series. The eight-episode series describes the circumstances surrounding the creation of the power rings and the ascent of Sauron. It is set tens of thousands of years before the events depicted in Peter Jackson’s trilogy.
The Sandman
In 2022, the much-loved Sandman comics were finally adapted on television. Tom Sturridge plays Morpheus, the King of Dreams, who, after being released from a 100-year prison sentence, must rebuild his empire. Netflix has renewed The Sandman for a second season because the program was a success.
House of the Dragon
One of the most eagerly awaited shows of 2022 was HBO’s return to Westeros. Three hundred years before the events of Game of Thrones, House Targaryen is the subject of the novel House of the Dragon. As various vicious Targaryens fought for control in King’s Landing, it swiftly became required Sunday night television.
