About

tiered.tv ranks TV seasons without spoiling them.

For every show I cover, two rankings live side by side:

  • Editor's Canon — my editorial ranking, with a short reason per position. Confident but spoiler-safe.
  • Community Rank — vote-driven. Each season asks one question: does it belong in the community top 10? Your upvote or downvote answers it. Signed-in members carry more weight than guests; long-tenured accounts carry the most.

Browse the shows index, pick one, and decide which season to watch next. Or skim the themed lists for cross-show patterns ("Premieres that earned it", "The back-half at full volume", etc.).

What this is

An experiment. Built and operated by one person. Free to use. No ads, no third-party tracking, no email collection beyond sign-in.

How voting works

Two rankings live on every show page. The Editor's Canon is the editor's call — one person, one position per season, a main take and a slot argument. The Community Rank is yours.

Every season asks one question — does it belong in the community top 10? — and your upvote or downvote answers it. One vote per reader per season. Change your mind within 72 hours; after that the vote locks. The community rank updates weekly.

Signed-in voters self-attest they watched the season end to end before casting. Anonymous-guest votes count at 0.1×. Accounts under 7 days old count at 0.25×. Accounts 7+ days old count at 1.0×. Rate-limits run behind the scenes to catch coordinated voting campaigns, and should never bite a normal reader.

Spoilers policy

A spoiler, here, is anything a first-time viewer wouldn't want to know:

  • Winners or finale outcomes
  • Eliminations, deaths, departures, breakups
  • Plot beats, twists, reveals
  • Relationship outcomes

The following are not spoilers and are fair game:

  • Format changes ("the season was shortened")
  • Casting energy ("the cast had great chemistry")
  • Tonal observations ("darker than usual")
  • Location ("filmed in Fiji")
  • Host changes
  • Structural innovations (a new twist mechanic, a new vote format, etc.)

Every comment passes through an AI pre-filter before it posts; flagged comments enter a human-reviewed mod queue. I err on the side of redacting. If a community comment crosses the line, it's removed.

Become an editor

The canon is small and signed. If you watch a show no one here covers yet — or you have a take on one I cover, written with a main take and a slot argument per ranked season, spoiler-safe — open an issue on GitHub and tell me which show and which season. New editors come in by invitation after a sample season write-up I agree to.
