Now that the official, well-reasoned list has been published, many staff members have scalding-hot takes on what they believe to be the best episode of television to air since 2000.
"On Tuesday morning, The Ringer unveiled its list of the 100 best episodes of TV in the 21st century. The list was assembled by compiling submissions from the staff and then arranging them with as much as objectivity as possible. The process from beginning to end was executed soberly and seriously, with the staff genuinely trying to pinpoint the best episodes of the past 18 years. Now that the week is over, the leash of rationality is being unclasped. The Ringer staff has been asked to voice their support for the television episodes they are unreasonably obsessed with, the episodes they know are not the best, though they will insist they are the best until their dying day. Here are The Ringer's irrational no. 1 TV episodes." -The Ringer Staff, August 3, 2018
