There is, as you may have heard, too much good TV. In the interest of spreading the wealth a little, they decided that this list of great TV episodes from 2021 wouldn't include installments from any of the shows in their respective Top 10 lists (see Daniel Fienberg's Top 10 and Angie Han's Top 10.) Otherwise, their top episodes list would likely include at least three Succession hours — "Retired Janitors of Idaho," "Too Much Birthday" and "All the Bells Say," probably — and multiple installments from Reservation Dogs.
Make no mistake, the ninth episode of The Underground Railroad and the For All Mankind finale were among the best of the year, but you already know that. Here are 10 (ok, fine, 12) other episodes they thought needed a moment in the spotlight.
Daniel Fienberg and Angie Han break down their favorite episodes of 2021, with installments of 'Squid Game,' 'Hacks,' 'Only Murders in the Building,' 'Yellowjackets' and 'WandaVision' making the cut.
