Medium's Lucien WD: The 100 Best TV Episodes of the Century

"As television has made greater leaps towards becoming the dominant creatively-driven screen format, individual standout episodes have become as significant in the cinematic cannon as the best feature films. And so, I have decided to count down my 100 favourite single episodes of the 21st century, from a wide variety of shows, in this comprehensive list.

Some shows have far greater representation than others, and some of the "the greats" of the century will — you'll notice — be absent entirely. I have not seen The Wire, and I apologise for that. Similarly, upon reflection, something like Game of Thrones just doesn't meet the standards to appear on this list, in my opinion.

So have a read through, let me know your thoughts, scold me for my boldness (there's A LOT of The Newsroom on here) and share your own favourites!

Let's go!"
