BuzzFeed's 22 Masterful Television Episodes That You Can Enjoy Without Watching the Whole Series

You don't need to set aside binging time to enjoy these small screen masterpieces.

"The mark of an unforgettable television series is the ability to highlight episodes that will stand the test of time and offer emotional, layered storytelling that remains effective with every additional viewing.

Of course, these moments can come from episodes that flip the script on what you may expect from the series, or mark a turning point in which the show transcends normal entertainment and becomes a pop culture landmark.

With this in mind, I've assembled 22 television episodes so good that you don't need to even watch the series as a whole to enjoy them:"
