Perfect, your thread gives me an excuse to post my latest updated rating list for tv shows, past and current. The rating is based on entertainment
value and re-watchability, so amount of content to watch is a big factor (meaning shows that are still running that have good potential, such as House
of the Dragon, are likely to go up in rating as new episodes are released). Modern shows that have less than 20 episodes per season, like 10 or so,
and have ended after 4-6 seasons, but were still good, like The Expanse, are lacking in a high rating because of lack of content (and thus less
re-watchability; the same counts for GoT, which also doesn't have a whole lot of content compared to some older shows rated above it). You will note
I'm a bit of a Sci-Fi fan, but only of a specific type (not the Lost or Doctor Who type, and I haven't even bothered with the X-Files, hence it's not
in the list).
The shows marked with a * are still running. For those who have seen my previous lists, you may notice some changes at the top. This is based on my
latest bingewatches through these shows (my favorite shows).

If you want to separate out the shows that are still running from that list, you get this list (a double * is a reminder for me that there are still
episodes left for me to watch of the latest season, usually this means the season is running right now; a # is a reminder for me that a new season
will soon start, useful for when you want to keep an eye on what you want to stream):
