The dramas, comedies, and limited series of 2024 have stunned audiences and critics, and IndieWire has picked the best installments of the year.
2024 will be remembered for a lot of things, good and bad (and everything in between) — but around these parts, it will be remembered for specific TV episodes that stood out from the dozens, if not hundreds that viewers devour in a year. Whether it's a weekly treat or annual binge, exceptional shows are one thing, but exceptional episodes will live on in our hearts and sometimes eclipse the very shows from whence they came.
As with every year, the IndieWire staff faces their annual conundrum of weighing good episodes against good shows and seeing where the two overlap. Whether you've been meaning to catch up on these shows (spoilers ahead) or shared our awe at these specific segments, 2024's best episodes (unranked) cover a range of existential emotional journeys.
