Paramount+ only launched in 2021, yet the streamer has already released several noteworthy series, including The Good Fight, Evil, and the Criminal Minds revival. While the platform is relatively new in its current form, its association with the large ViacomCBS family means there’s no shortage of programming for subscribers to binge on. It also means we can expect many new titles to hit our screens as we move into 2023. 

We’ve already compiled a list of the best all-time Paramout+ TV shows, so we’re shifting the focus to the current year’s offerings. Using Rotten Tomatoes scores as a starting point, we’ve put together the best 2023 series so far on Paramout+. As we’re only at the start of the year, we’ll keep updating this page as the year progresses and more titles are released. 

Best and Highest Rated TV Shows on Paramount+ in 2023

3. Wolf Pack (2023 – )

There was a lot of publicity surrounding Wolf Pack, mainly because it marks Sarah Michelle Gellar’s return to the supernatural genre. But judging by critic reviews and audience feedback, the show somewhat failed to live up to the hype.

Official Premise: A teenage boy and girl have their lives changed forever when a California wildfire awakens a terrifying supernatural creature.

Cast: Sarah Michelle Gellar, Rodrigo Santoro, Armani Jackson, Bella Shepard, Chloe Rose Robertson

Rotten Tomatoes: 40%

IMDB Rating: 6.1/10

2. Mayor of Kingstown (2021 – )

This is one of those shows audiences seem to love, while the critics fail to be impressed. Nevertheless, 2023 saw the show return for a second season, and rumor has it this won’t be the last we see of the McLucky family. 

Official Premise: A crime drama about an important contemporary issue, America’s prison system, “Mayor of Kingstown,” follows the McLusky family in Kingstown, Mich., where the business of incarceration is the only thriving industry. The family of power brokers between police, criminals, inmates, prison guards, and politicians tackles themes of systemic racism, corruption, and inequality. The crime thriller series provides a stark look at their attempt to bring order and justice to a town without either.

Cast: Jeremy Renner, Dianne Wiest, Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Emma Laird

Rotten Tomatoes: 42%

IMDB Rating: 8.2/10

1. Star Trek: Picard (2020 – )

This recent addition to the Star Trek franchise premiered in 2020, featuring Patric Steward reprising his iconic role as Jean-Luc Picard. The show won a Primetime Emmy, along with several other accolades. Sadly, the current season was confirmed to be its last.

Official Premise: Retired admiral Jean-Luc Picard, still profoundly affected by the loss of Lieutenant Commander Data and Romulus’s destruction, steps into the next chapter of his life.

Cast: Patrick Stewart, LeVar Burton, Michael Dorn, Jonathan Frakes, Gates McFadden

Rotten Tomatoes: 91%

IMDB Rating: 7.3/10
