Despite Marvel Studios only venturing into the realm of television in recent years, commencing with the groundbreaking WandaVision on Disney+ in early 2021, the studio has had its involvement in numerous TV projects stretching back into the 2010s. The extensive engagement in various projects over such a long time inevitably results in a mix of successful and unsuccessful shows. Recently, it has been disclosed which show has earned the dubious distinction of being the lowest-rated Marvel television series ever. Unsurprisingly to most viewers, Inhumans has been officially recognized as the worst Marvel TV series of all time, closely followed by Secret Invasion. Inhumans boasts an astonishingly low rating of 11% from critics on Rotten Tomatoes and a 42% audience score, while Secret Invasion holds a critic score of 52% and an audience rating of 48% on the same platform.

Among Marvel’s Netflix offerings, Iron Fist stands out as the third-lowest-rated TV project, achieving a 37% critic rating but a more favorable 66% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. The score for Secret Invasion was largely bolstered by its initial episodes, which received favorable reviews and were even likened to the critically acclaimed The Winter Soldier. However, as the series progressed, it took a significant downturn, ultimately becoming the most criticized project in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), with its finale scoring a dismal 7%. The only redeeming aspect for Inhumans was Anson Mount‘s portrayal of Black Bolt, which was regarded as a highlight in the otherwise poorly received series, and he even reprised this role in the 2022 blockbuster, <em>Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness</em>, before meeting his demise at the hands of Wanda, played by Elizabeth Olsen.

The title of the highest-rated Marvel TV project is held by X-Men ‘97, which debuted earlier this year and achieved near-perfect scores of 99% from critics and an impressive 92% from general audiences on Rotten Tomatoes. Coming in at a close second is <em>Ms. Marvel</em>, marking the MCU’s introduction of the beloved character portrayed by Iman Vellani. This series garnered a remarkable 98% from critics, though audience ratings were slightly lower at 80%. Following closely is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. in the third position, with WandaVision and Daredevil also ranking highly among the top-rated Marvel series.

It has been officially confirmed that Inhumans holds the unfortunate title of the lowest-rated Marvel TV project ever, with Secret Invasion following closely behind. Both of these controversial projects are available for streaming exclusively on Disney+, offering fans the chance to revisit them and form their own opinions.
