Welcome to the 187th episode of TV’s Top 5, The Hollywood Reporter’s TV podcast.

Every week, hosts Lesley Goldberg (West Coast TV editor) and Daniel Fienberg (chief TV critic) break down the latest TV news with context from the business and critical sides, welcome showrunners, executives and other guests, and provide a critical guide of what to watch (or skip, as the case may be).

This week, we’re joined by Rolling Stone chief TV critic Alan Sepinwall to break down the magazine’s newly published list of the 100 greatest TV shows of all time and to find out which show from 2022 could make an argument to join the ranking.
