Poll Suggestion: Collider's Most Expensive TV Series List

On December 12, 2024, The Collider Report published an artice highlighting The 27 Most Expensive TV Series Ever Made from the Prestige TV era aka "Third Golden Age of Television" that features series first airing from 1999 to the present day. The most recent Golden Age in television is the result of advances in media distribution technology, digital TV technology (including HDTV, online video platforms, TV streaming, video-on-demand, and web TV), and a large increase in the number of hours of available television, which has prompted a major wave of content creation, colloquial known as the streaming wars

Which TV series from this Collider Report article list is your favorite one?

Maybe inflation-adjusted numbers should be used to determine the list.

I used a Collider report (The 27 Most Expensive TV Series Ever Made, Ranked) as a source. I believe they considered inflation-adjusted figures to determine this list.

@GabrielFox

I find the Collider list to be poorly researched and your presentation of it as fact to be selective deceptive and inaccurate. I think you need be more upfront about what you are presenting is their version of a list that is limited to tv series from only the prestige TV era aka "Third Golden Age of Television" that first-run aired from 2000 to present day. FYI, saying the Golden Age of Television in your introduction, implies there was one, rather than three. Other inaccuracies include, the Friends episodes did not average $10 over the entire series, bur only in seasons 9 and 10. Plus, their are a number of $20M per episode to $60M per episode series that are not even listed on the Collider list, a very glaring ommision. Both, Wikipedia (15 series $10M) and Tell Tales Online (28 series $10M) both have their own Most Expensive Per Episode lists that I believe to be more accuarate. So, while the Sopranos is noteworthy series, I don't see it making the top 35 when its most expensive episodes cost $6M and originally cost only $2M. I would think the floor for this is between $9M-10M per episode.

FYC, it would be better to compile your own list using multiple sources. If you are committed to using the flawed Collided list, I think these tweaks presents the list without endorsing it and removing some mistatements.

@GabrielFox​ I think the title is inaccurate, The Most Expensive TV Series Ever Made too. It sounds so definitive, when it is hard to make that claim when the list you use omits 13 of the 35+ most expensive per episode series (43%). Maybe, Collider's Most Expensive TV Series List would be better.

Andor $21M,

She-Hulk: Attorney at Law $25M
