"Succession," "Only Murders in the Building," "Midnight Mass," and more are among IndieWire's picks for the best episodes of 2021.
Television bridges years, even decades, of our lives. Shows stay with us while everything else shifts. That time is additive, sure; all those hours build an attachment that's often unbreakable. But it's also exclusive. An episode may have aired at just the right moment, or it could've served as your gateway into the rest of the series, more shows like it, or even specific creators who made it work so well. IndieWire thinks the episodes gathered below, in their Best TV Episodes of 2021 list, do that. They're special. And if they're special to us, odds are they'll be special to some of you, too. So give them a shot — or just remember along with IndieWire.
TV is a beautiful medium. Let's appreciate each part.
