We Needed Roads Podcast

We watched an irresponsible amount of television in 2025, and now it’s time to shout about it.On this episode of The We Needed Roads Podcast, we count down our Top 10 TV & streaming shows of 2025 — from prestige TV to the smaller show only Neil tried to make us watch.Join Neil who likely watched more TV than his other 3 co-hosts combined, Marie who checked out if it wasn't gay enough and also only seemed to rewatch the same 3 shows all year, David who luckily avoided the horrors of toddler TV but also because of parenting a tiny person had very limited TV time, and Jose who sent in a list of his top 3 shows (as opposed to 10) because either his amnesia is kicking in or he just watched a lot of mid-shows that didn't deserve a ranking.This list is correct. Until you tell us why it isn’t.If you love movies, TV, geek culture or listening to four people passionately argue about shows… give us a LIKE, drop a COMMENT, and hit SUBSCRIBE so we can lurk in your algorithm foreverLet us know if you agree with our Top 10 Shows of 2025 list, and if not what show you think should be there!Follow We Needed Roads Podcast on the socials:🐦 Twitter/Xhttps://twitter.com/NeededRoads📸 Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/weneededroads🎵 TikTokhttps://www.tiktok.com/@weneededroadspodcast🎧 Follow us on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/0E31ucDQy7Ha5PRdtahAjb?si=50a97260f09f4ad7👤 Our SocialsNeilhttps://bsky.app/profile/neilg78.bsky.socialhttps://www.instagram.com/neil_gregory78Neil’s Substack:https://substack.com/@greggors78Davidhttps://bsky.app/profile/[email protected]🐦 https://x.com/Life_onMarsz📸 https://www.instagram.com/life.on.marsz/Her podcast:https://t.co/VEzFUG3ObXJose🐦 https://x.com/aspanishjoe📸 https://www.instagram.com/joselopezphotos📷 https://www.jlopezphotos.com🚗 Fund Our Quest for a DeLoreanhttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/Weneededroads#2025tv #MoviePodcast #TVPodcast #WeNeededRoads #FilmTalk #GeekPodcast #MoviePreview #tv #PodcastUK #tvdiscussion #PopCulture #bestof2025 #podcast
