Daniel Fienberg and Angie Han break down their favorite episodes of 2022, including installments from 'The White Lotus,' 'The Bear,' 'The Crown,' 'A League of Their Own' and more.
It would be possible to do a list of the best TV episodes of 2022 without placing any restrictions on it. That list would probably include five or six Atlanta episodes (including "The Goof Who Sat By the Door," "Work Ethic!" and "Snip Hunt" from the final season), another three or four episodes from Reservation Dogs (including "Stay Gold Cheesy Boy," "Mabel" and "Offerings"), and at least as many from Better Call Saul (out of 13 episodes, choose almost any one), Barry (starting with "710N") and Better Things (take the series finale and work backwards).
And that would be the list!
So instead, as usual, they set one simple if arbitrary restriction: no episodes from shows on either of their Top 10 lists.
