If you've been a fan of prestige streaming television for nearly a decade now, you've probably noticed that none of the most popular crime shows out there, like "Breaking Bad" or "Better Call Saul," can boast a 100% Rotten Tomatoes rating, despite winning a bunch of Golden Globes and Emmys and having millions of fans.

The answer to this paradox is actually quite simple – the more critics rate the show, the less chance it has of getting a perfect score, since there are always a small number of writers who will give great shows lower scores just for the sake of it. Because of this, shows with perfect RT scores are usually quite underrated in terms of critical reception, but that shouldn't stop you from checking them out.
