When it comes to end of the year pieces, it's usually dramas or high-profile miniseries that dominate the space. Not so in 2019! This time around, comedies and half-hour formats have gotten quite a bit of love from Paste Magazine editors and writers. There are dramas and expensive miniseries represented here, of course. But some of the most innovative television has come in that 30 minute format, where experimentations in visual style and storytelling narratives have truly impressed.
Below are 25 of the Best Episodes of 2019, voted on by the Paste TV editors and writers, which represent their favorites—and not all are premieres or finales! (Although they did limit the choices to one per series).
Eligibility: Episodes had to air between January 1, 2019 and November 15, 2019.
And really? An Andi Mack episode?
