A multifaceted collection of undeniably entertaining television.
Choosing the best TV episodes is very different from choosing the best TV.
The best episodes might be outstanding hours of shows that fluctuate in quality, or a pivotal character moment or story beat that contextualizes everything else. Sometimes the best episode is part of an almost embarrassing bounty — just one of many consistently brilliant installments in a TV show that blew away both audiences and critics.
IndieWire's look at the best TV episodes of 2022 is all those things, populated by our usual suspects of top 2022 TV as well as hours we couldn't forget and shows we gladly binged in a weekend. There is drama, there is comedy, there is literal "Euphoria." This list has it all. What it doesn't have, however, is more than one episode from the same show, in an effort to spread the wealth.
