Hidden Gem TV Shows on Metacritic

Brilliant series most people have not found yet. Every title here is rated by at least 5,000 people across every site, enough to trust the score, but by fewer than the 100,000 our main rankings ask for, so none of them can appear there. Ranked by Metacritic alone; the MEANRANK score beside each title is what every site together makes of it.
