Did NYT fire their critics and generate this by AI? There are some strange additions on that list.

Can they rate GoT as two groups, first few seasons vs last couple of seasons? Then the first few might deserve to be in the top 25.

Also, why is Lost so high? Above Better Call Saul! It may deserve a spot, but that seems too high for it.
