Frequently asked
- What is the best English Sci-Fi show of all time?
- By IMDb rating (weighted for vote count), Avatar: The Last Airbender (2005) tops this list with an IMDb score of 9.3 from 4,32,739 votes, and it's streaming in India on JioHotstar.
- How is this list ranked?
- We rank by IMDb rating using a Bayesian weighted score (IMDb's own Top-250 method), which balances a title's rating against how many people voted — so a very high score from only a handful of votes doesn't outrank a slightly lower score from tens of thousands. Titles need a minimum vote count to qualify.
