"At this point, saying that 2022 has been a good year for TV would be like saying water is wet. There's more TV than ever before, which means that if you thought it was anything but a great year for the medium, you simply haven't been watching enough of the good stuff. We're not blaming you, as the total saturation of the format also means it's tougher than ever to decide what to watch. Luckily, we've got you covered with a countdown of the year's best episodes, a list that includes comedies, dramas, fantasies, horror shows, and everything in between."
The shows that did make the cut each find a way to transport, inspire awe, or otherwise move audiences over the course of an hour, give or take. Movies are wonderful, but TV will always have something that they don't: the potentially perfect payoff of that unique little unit of measurement known as an episode. Here are the 20 we loved most in 2022."
