"If you're trying to list the best TV shows of 2016, the only difficulty you'll have is narrowing your list down. But even as audiences continue to devour TV shows in massive binge-watches, there's something special about the occasional single TV episode that stands out from the pack. This is a tribute to those standout episodes.
Some business up front: I'm only considering shows for which I've seen every episode that aired in 2016—so apologies to Better Call Saul, The Americans, Insecure, This Is Us, The Good Place, and Rectify, which would surely have made this list if I'd had enough time to get myself up to date. With that in mind, here are the best TV episodes I saw in 2016."
