Here Are Rotten Tomatoes’ Best Reviewed Movies and TV Shows of 2015

Rotten Tomatoes has announced the winners of its 17th annual Golden Tomato Awards, which honor the movies and TV shows which received the best reviews by critics during the previous year. Rather than a simple top ten list, the website, which aggregates reviews to give movies and shows ratings on a scale of 0 to 100 percent, selects a winner in a series of categories broken down by genre and region.

The best reviewed wide-release movie of 2015, Mad Max: Fury Road, does not come as a big surprise, nor do other buzzy awards-season titles like Inside Out and Carol. But the inclusion of multiple categories allows films that aren’t otherwise getting much attention, like the vampire comedy What We Do In The Shadows and the graphic novel adaptation Diary of a Teenage Girl, to crack the list.

On the TV side, new shows like Better Call Saul, Fargo, Master of None and recent sensation Making a Murderer received ample love from critics, with the former three looking to snag an award or two at Sunday night’s Golden Globe Awards.
