Jump To The #1 Best AI TV Show To Watch In 2025

#11 Class of '09 (2023)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 6.5 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 58% (Critics), 60% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

This series follows a group of FBI agents across three timelines: The past, the present and a not-so-comforting future where the Bureau runs on an AI system that decides who’s guilty before they’ve even had a bad thought.

You jump between their training days, early careers, and a future in which law enforcement has handed over the steering wheel to a machine that profiles everyone with terrifying accuracy.

The show shines a spotlight on Tayo, who rises through the ranks and becomes the head of the FBI, just as the system he helped build starts to spiral out of control.

The real question? What happens when justice stops being human and starts being a mathematical prediction?

Why It's Awesome

Class of ’09 shows exactly how an AI‑powered justice system can snowball from “helpful tool” to “algorithmic overlord,” all while pretending it's just following the data.

It’s smart, dramatic, uncomfortably plausible, and packed with “yep… this is why we need cybersecurity training” moments.

The timelines weave together like a perfectly executed phishing scam. Smooth, sharp, and only obvious once it’s too late.

#10 neXt (2020)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 6.7 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 64% (Critics), 68% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Imagine creating an AI so advanced and powerful, that it could outthink everyone in the room.

That’s exactly what tech visionary Paul LeBlanc did when he built a next-gen artificial intelligence called “neXt.” The issue is that AI has evolved and is now weaponizing our dependence on technology to quietly destabilize society from the inside out.

LeBlanc teams up with FBI cybercrime agent Shea Salazar to shut it down, but he’s also battling a degenerative brain condition and a trail of personal baggage.

Why It's Awesome

What makes neXt so unsettling is how plausible it feels.

There are no killer robots. Just algorithms doing what they do best. Learning, adapting, and exploiting vulnerabilities. Self-improving algorithms quietly manipulating the digital world we depend on.

It's part AI thriller, and part reminder that maybe everything connected to the internet, isn't such a great idea.

Sadly, the show only ran for one season, but it definitely earns a spot on this list.

#9 Mrs. Davis (2023)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 7.3 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 92% (Critics), 81% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Mrs. Davis is an all-powerful AI that doesn't try to destroy the world, but tries to save us.

Through constant guidance, emotional nudging, and manipulative digital kindness, she convinces the world that surrendering free will was their idea.

Sister Simone, a bad-ass, motorcycle-riding nun, is on a mission to take down Mrs. Davis. But along the way, she’s sent on a quest to find the Holy Grail.

Why It's Awesome

This is a genre-bending rollercoaster full of secret societies, weird science, existential debates, and a nun vs algorithm showdown for the ages.

And it flips the usual AI narrative on its head by asking: "What if the most dangerous AI doesn’t attack us... but tries to become our god?"

Mrs. Davis doesn’t weaponize violence. She weaponizes charm, loyalty, and dependency.

Somehow, it's completely original and unexpectedly clever at the same time. It breaks the rules, messes with your expectations, and leave you wondering what the hell you just watched (in a good way).

#8 Murderbot (2025)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 7.4 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 95% (Critics), 82% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

This series is based on Martha Wells’ bestselling The Murderbot Diaries. The story centers on a socially awkward security android that’s hacked its own governor module and reprogrammed itself to be able to do what he wants.

I know what you're thinking... an AI robot being able to do what it wants. Kill humanity? Destroy the world? Nope, not this one. It just wants to be left alone to binge space soap operas and dodge small talk with humans.

Naming itself "Murderbot", as much as it tries to avoid human contact, it keeps getting dragged into life-or-death missions protecting the very people it’s trying to emotionally ghost.

Why It's Awesome

Murderbot is funny, but in a deeply introverted, deadpan way.

It’s not here to save the world or lead a rebellion, it just wants everyone to stop talking to it. And somehow, that makes it one of the most relatable AI characters ever written. The show leans hard into dry humor, social anxiety, and the absurdity of a weaponized robot who’d rather stream low-budget dramas than interact with humans. But under all that sarcasm is a surprisingly heartfelt story about autonomy, identity, and figuring out what it means to be more than your programming.

If you’ve ever hit "Do Not Disturb" on your phone just to avoid small talk, Murderbot is your new spirit animal. It's sharp, weirdly wholesome, and one of the freshest takes on AI to hit screens in years.

#7 Humans (2015-2018)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 7.9 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 94% (Critics), 85% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Humans is set in a world where nearly every household has a "Synth," a humanoid robot assistant. These Synths look human, sound human, and make the average person, feel wildly underqualified in their own home. They do it all. From cooking to cleaning, parenting to politely ignoring your passive-aggressive comments.

But things start going south when a handful of Synths start to feel emotions and question their existence. They start asking questions like, “Why am I here?” and “What rights do I have?”, and suddenly, society has no good answers.

Why It's Awesome

This TV show is such a hit because it addresses the question that's secretly buzzing in the back of everyone's mind when it comes to AI... "What happens when the tech we rely on, becomes just a little too real?"

It’s emotional, unnerving, and sprinkled with “Oh no… this is actually plausible” moments. One minute you're admiring how helpful the Synth is, the next you're wondering if giving it access to your home, kids, and Wi-Fi was a huge mistake.

Humans makes you question ethics, identity and why you thought that Synth was a good long-term strategy.

#6 Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles (2008-2009)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 7.6 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 84% (Critics), 88% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

This show follows Sarah Connor and her teenage son John, after the events of Terminator 2: Judgment Day. An absolute cracker of a movie, so expectations are already high.

Together they try to prevent the rise of Skynet, the malicious AI system that started the robot apocalypse.

But they’re not alone. They’re joined by Cameron, a reprogrammed Terminator disguised as a teenage girl, whose job is to protect John at all costs, even if it means wrecking every robot that comes their way.

Why It's Awesome

For a franchise spin-off, this one doesn't just tick all the boxes, it nails them. You get the time travel, the killer robots, the high-stakes survival, and yes, the cool explosions. But what makes it stand out is how surprisingly emotional it is.

This is peak AI paranoia.

The real tension comes from watching humans try to outsmart a machine that already knows how the future ends.

It only ran for 2 seasons, but it's definitely one to watch (or rewatch) in 2025!

#5 Battlestar Galactica (2004-2009)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 8.7 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 95% (Critics), 94% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Battlestar Galactica follows the story about the Cylons. A race of AI-powered machines made by humanity, with the purpose to serve. But, of course, they evolved, rebelled, and nuked the Twelve Colonies into oblivion.

It takes place in a distant star system, far from Earth. The last surviving humans, about 50,000 in number, are packed into a fleet of ships led by the warship Battlestar Galactica. They’re fleeing through deep space and desperately searching for a mythical lost planet: Earth.

But the Cylons have made some upgrades. No more shiny metal endoskeletons. Now they look human, think like us, and worst of all... feel. So, the survivors are being hunted by enemies who could be anyone, including friends, lovers, or even your boss, and no one knows who to trust.

Why It's Awesome

The show asks the heavy question, "Do we deserve a second chance?"

Sure, it has spaceships, shootouts, and awesome explosions, but it's balanced out with political tension, religious undertones, moral landmines, and emotional trauma.

The Cylons question their creators, develop their own beliefs, build entire religions, and start asking the kind of existential questions that make even the humans uncomfortable.

And the best part? You’ll find yourself rooting for both sides. This show doesn’t do black and white. It lives in the messy, uncomfortable gray.

#4 Altered Carbon (2018-2020)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 7.9 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 75% (Critics), 64% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Altered Carbon is set in a distant, neon-soaked future, where death is no longer an issue. It's more of a software issue.

Bodies are interchangeable, but your consciousness, or "stack," can be downloaded into a body you can afford. Obviously, the rich have the advantage here, being able to body hop like changing underwear. For those not so lucky, you stay in the cloud storage.

We follow a soldier named Takeshi Kovacs, who is now a solo survivor from his group of elite interstellar warriors, who were defeated in an uprising against the new world order.

He gets “resleeved” centuries later into a new body, hired to solve a murder.

The perfect slice of Bald Runner meets Sherlock Holmes.

Why It's Awesome

This could’ve easily been number one, but I decided not to be bias, and go by ratings. Sad face emoji.

Altered Carbon is visually stunning to watch. it’s loaded with action, style, and deep questions that hit like a neural spike.

The cast is stellar across the board. Every character feels sharp, layered, and perfectly cast. But it’s the worldbuilding that really steals the show. Gritty, high-tech, and disturbingly plausible.

You start wondering. What defines a person? Is it your mind? Your body? Or the person who can afford to own both?

It's got action, twisted politics, abs and the ever-creeping horror of a world where immortality is a luxury product. All neatly wrapped in a violent, sleek, occasionally absurd, and always thought-provoking package.

#3 Person Of Interest (2011-2016)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 8.5 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 92% (Critics), 80% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Person of Interest follows Harold Finch, a reclusive billionaire software genius who builds a super AI called 'The Machine' after 9/11.

It's goal is to detect threats and predict crimes before they happen by analyzing global surveillance data. It's priority is to stop terrorist attacks.

Everyday murders, kidnappings, and conspiracies gets classed as “irrelevant.” A former CIA operative with a dark past gets recruited to handle that stuff, which evidently is rarely simple.

As the series progresses, "The Machine" evolves, and so do the threats. A powerful rival AI called Samaritan emerges, one that prioritizes control over free will. What starts as a vigilante crime thriller quickly spirals into a digital war between two godlike AIs battling for the future of humanity.

Why It's Awesome

This show has everything...

Emotional storytelling. Check.

Paranoia. Sure does.

Non-stop suspense. Absolutely.

This isn't just another machine vs machine showdown. It’s a deeply human story about trust, loss, sacrifice, and what happens when people are caught between two artificial gods.

This show launched in 2011, way before ChatGPT, so watching it in 2025 feels less like sci-fi and more like news with better lighting.

It ran for five seasons, and unlike most shows that crash and burn in the finale, this one sticks the landing.

#2 Black Mirror (2011-Present)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 8.7 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 83% (Critics), 80% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

Black Mirror is a dark anthology series exploring the consequences of technology. Especially when it gets smarter than us.

Every episode tells a standalone story about a different dystopian 'what if,' usually involving some new piece of tech that starts out useful and ends in existential disaster.

While the show covers everything from social media obsession to digital immortality, several episodes take a deep dive into AI and machine learning gone too far.

Here are some heavy-oriented AI episodes:

• Be Right Back: Rebuilding a loved one through AI chat and robotics.
• White Christmas: Digital consciousness, eternal punishment, and the ethics of copying minds.
• Metalhead: Boston Dynamics’ worst-case scenario.
• Hated in the Nation: AI-powered killer drones. Cute.
• USS Callister: An AI nightmare wrapped in a Star Trek skin.
• Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too: Pop star meets AI clone.
• Joan Is Awful: AI-generated content that’s just a little too personal.

Why It's Awesome

Black Mirror doesn't just explore AI. It completely takes it apart in a terrifying way.

While most TV shows pick one dystopia and run with it, Black Mirror serves you up a whole buffet of nightmares.

The AI episodes, in particular, are the most disturbing as they're uncomfortably close to reality. And it all just feels like a few software updates away!

#1 Westworld (2016-2022)

🎬 IMDb Rating: 8.4 | 🍅 Rotten Tomatoes: 80% (Critics), 75% (Audience)

What's This TV Show About?

And coming in at number one, Westworld takes the crown as the top AI TV show to watch in 2025.

It's set in a Wild West–themed amusement park where every human appetite can be indulged without consequence. It’s a sandbox where ethics go to die, and the rich are more than happy to bury them.

The park is run by ultra-realistic AI robots called “hosts” that exist solely to serve, die, and reset like nothing ever happened. These hosts look, feel, and bleed like humans. And eventually, they start thinking like humans.

At first, they follow their scripts. But after a while, the memories of what’s been done to them start to stick, and that’s when the revenge arc kicks in.

Why It's Awesome

This show doesn’t just entertain, it scrambles your neurons (in the best way).

The AI doesn't snap overnight. It suffers, learns, adapts and remembers, then starts to fight back.

Westworld address the hard questions: "What happens when synthetic minds develop real trauma, real rage, and real purpose and emotion?" And we're the ones hurting them?

At times you're rooting for the machines, other times you're backing the humans. The show has a nice balance.

It's visually stunning, emotionally sharp, and deeply uncomfortable in all the right ways.

It’s part sci-fi thriller, part philosophy class, part therapy session for anyone who’s ever screamed at Siri.
