X-Men '97 is officially the highest-rated Marvel TV show on Rotten Tomatoes – but shares the honor with another, perhaps more underrated Marvel show.
X-Men '97 and Ms Marvel currently hold a 98% Fresh critic rating on RT, though X-Men holds a higher audience score of 94% than Ms Marvel's 80%.
The critically acclaimed show serves as a continuation of X-Men: The Animated Series, with our favorite group of mutants learning how to cope in a post-Charles Xavier world. As it turns out, Professor X's absence is the least of their worries – and there's so much else at stake. Some critics have called the series Marvel's best release in years, with others pointing out how refreshing it is to have a Marvel release that isn't connected to the MCU. The show has been greenlit for both a second and third season.
X-Men '97 season 1 is streaming now on Disney Plus. For more, check out our guide to the X-Men '97 post-credits scene explained.
