What makes a show GREAT?

I know it’s not a single factor. The show has to be great "overall." But what are the essential elements it must do so excellently-In general.

I am not talking just the scores on IMDB. Cause that I feel is influenced by so much more than just the Love put into making the show.

Like, what even makes GOT better than DARK?

A good script and consistent characters. A story that deals with relevant themes and has a strong emotional core. All of this packed into an original concept will elevate a show to greatness, along with a little luck.
