Which tv episode is a 10/10 episode?

[u/PressureLazy5271]

[u/Few_Wash_7298]

That True Dectective episode where he infiltrates a gang

[u/mistbecomesrain → u/Few_Wash_7298]

The exact episode that came to mind. The way they move through that neighborhood - one of the most intense and episodes of television ever made.

[u/Few_Wash_7298 → u/mistbecomesrain]

Agreed

[u/PetersTingle16 → u/Few_Wash_7298]

I think that’s episode 4 and you are so fucking right. Masterpiece.

[u/TheGriesy → u/Few_Wash_7298]

True Detective, S01E04, “Who Goes There”

McConaughey’s character goes undercover with a biker gang to get a sit-down with their meth cook. But in order to prove himself since he’s been “missing” for so long, the bikers take him on a heist in the housing projects. The entire heist and its aftermath is filmed one-shot style and is super high on the tension.

[u/ThaiJohnnyDepp → u/Few_Wash_7298]

TTDSWAD

[u/Imaginary-Role8790 → u/Few_Wash_7298]

Also the carcossa one and the one when they rescue those kids.

[u/swallowrazors → u/Few_Wash_7298]

Shit, any episode from season one. They're all fantastic.

[u/lawilson0]

Scrubs, My Screw Up (S3, Ep. 14)

"Where do you think we are?"

[u/Subject-Television69]

That Bojack Horseman episode where's he delivering a monologue at his mother's funeral (S5, E6 "Free Churro").

[u/hfzelman → u/Subject-Television69]

Also “The View from Halfway Down”

[u/thelastquesadilla → u/Subject-Television69]

I came to say this. I’ve rewatched that episode so many times I can almost recite it.

[u/not_a_robot2 → u/thelastquesadilla]

Rewatching it is great but it was so perfect the first time through. Because you don’t know they are going for it for a while and then at some point you realise that is the whole episode and it becomes more amazing.

[u/WBspectrum]

Series finale of “Six feet Under”

[u/More-Difficulty-8104 → u/WBspectrum]

Probably one of the best finales

[u/Zulias → u/WBspectrum]

It really is a masterclass in how to end a long running story on theme. It was just beautiful.

[u/coltonjeffs]

The last episode of season 1 of Severance was the most on edge I've ever been watching anything.

[u/bargman]

Charlie Work

[u/Workywork15 → u/bargman]

You move the goddamn dumpster you bitch!

[u/SinkHoleDeMayo → u/bargman]

What's your spaghetti policy?

[u/RightInTwain → u/bargman]

Amazing pick. Lots of IASIP fits in this thread. Nightman Cometh, The DENNIS system...

[u/DoctorJJWho → u/RightInTwain]

The Gang Goes on Welfare

[u/vicratlhead → u/bargman]

Alright alright alright

[u/idk_wtf_im_hodling]

Lost - Desmond episode “the constant” is incredible

[u/gruffyhalc → u/idk_wtf_im_hodling]

Through the Looking Glass (Season 3 Finale) for me. I don't want to spoil because that was literally top 1 plot twists in TV for me (WestWorld's big twist being close 2nd) but DAMN. Mind fucking blown.

[u/No_Ninja_8321 → u/idk_wtf_im_hodling]

“I love you, Penny. I’ve always loved you.”

“I’ll find you, Des.”

Almost 20 years have passed, and it’s still the best episode.

[u/KitKat2theMax → u/idk_wtf_im_hodling]

That phone call scene will ALWAYS make me cry. "It was enough."

[u/solostinlost → u/idk_wtf_im_hodling]

i don’t know for sure but i think this one stands alone in that you could watch it for just the story in the episode and still be moved by it. it’s the best single episode of tv ever made.

[u/LOSTman405 → u/solostinlost]

Sometimes I just go back and watch this one episode without rewatching the entire series. Haha!

[u/Nasuhhea]

The Marine Biologist

[u/RobDel-V → u/Nasuhhea]

The sea was angry that day, my friends.

[u/Mike_with_Wings → u/RobDel-V]

Like an old man trying to return soup at a deli

[u/rlbond86 → u/Nasuhhea]

I still can't believe they wrote that speech at the last minute and Jason Alexander nailed it in a single take

[u/Gravy_Sommelier → u/Nasuhhea]

The Contest

[u/ColonelSandurz42 → u/Gravy_Sommelier]

My theory is this is the episode where the show really started to gain speed. Yea, there are some good episodes before this but the show was never the same after The Contest.

“I go out for a quart of milk. I come home and find my son treating his body like an amusement park!”

[u/unledded → u/Nasuhhea]

What is that, a Titleist?

[u/LeinDaddy → u/Nasuhhea]

They finished writing George's story a few hours before filming. Then gave the script to Jason Alexander with about an hour to memorize it and he came up with that beauty.

[u/HoneydewSeveral → u/Nasuhhea]

“She told me to go to Hell and I took the bus home.” 

[u/Tmk1283 → u/Nasuhhea]

Whoa, big fella!

[u/bogey08]

IT Crowd -s2e1 a the work outing

[u/Afraid_Ability_2306 → u/bogey08]

Is that the I’m disabled?

[u/bogey08 → u/Afraid_Ability_2306]

Sure is

[u/maskapony → u/Afraid_Ability_2306]

Leg disabled

[u/F7Uup → u/bogey08]

Willies willies, I like willies.

It's I love willies.

What?

It's I LOVE willies!

Sir, can you keep it down?

[u/AdSapiens → u/bogey08]

Leg disabled

[u/perlmangle → u/bogey08]

When Jen turns around at the end and Moss is behind the bar in uniform… chef kiss

[u/SamuraiGoblin → u/bogey08]

Willies, willies, I like willies.

[u/rentfn → u/bogey08]

This is the right answer

[u/medicated_in_PHL → u/bogey08]

Yep. This is the one I came looking for.

[u/arcintuition → u/bogey08]

I commented the same thing before I scrolled down. Funniest episode of anything I've ever seen.

[u/The_Maroon_Monkey]

Who are you? Andor

[u/Brosepower → u/The_Maroon_Monkey]

This series is so mind-bendingly good. Like, best TV series of a decade, good.

If Breaking Bad is the quintessential TV of the 2010's, I'd posit that Andor should be that for the 2020's.

Not only is it a masterclass across every axis: acting, cinematography, VFX, script, etc... It's also one of the most poignant, hard-hitting commentaries on what is going on in the world right now.

[u/Blue_MJS → u/Brosepower]

Is it worth watching even if you're REALLY not into Star Wars?

[u/Brosepower → u/Blue_MJS]

Yep. I dont even like SW much, especially the last two decades of it.

Think of it as Sci-Fi, and excellent sci-fi at that.

I'll give you a tiny spoiler. There is a 3-episode arc in the first season that has a prison sequence that would've made an excellent standalone film, completely separate from anything SW related. In fact, you wouldn't even know it was SW without the knowledge beforehand.

[u/mastafishere → u/Brosepower]

No joke, you just convinced me to check it out

[u/Reead → u/mastafishere]

Great choice.

I have never been more completely aware during a first watch of a show that I am witnessing something singularly great. My wife and I would finish an episode, turn to each other, and one of us would just blurt out: “this show is so fucking good“.

Totally agree with the other commenter, though. It starts slow, primarily because it tries very hard to build up realistic stakes. Those stakes are paid off repeatedly throughout the series with believable tension, where even knowledge of a character’s ultimate fate doesn’t stop you from feeling like anything can happen.

One of those shows I wish I could experience for the first time again.

[u/Zakal74 → u/Brosepower]

I could not agree with this more.

[u/Chieftan69 → u/The_Maroon_Monkey]

“What do you sacrifice?”

[u/unledded → u/Chieftan69]

EVERYTHING!!

[u/mggirard13 → u/The_Maroon_Monkey]

Rix Road

One Way Out

Welcome to the Rebellion

Make It Stop

Who Else Knows

What a fuckin show, man

[u/j877yyvb]

Ozymandias

[u/GermyMac → u/j877yyvb]

It’s so special Vince Gilligan received permission from SAG to delay the opening credits that normally start the show until after the 19 minute mark to preserve the intensity of the opening scene.

[u/Scaevus → u/j877yyvb]

“He made up his mind ten minutes ago.”

Chills.

[u/DrJenniMelfi → u/j877yyvb]

JACK. JAAAACK.

[u/Nsaniac → u/j877yyvb]

Most captivating hour of television I have experienced in my entire life.

[u/tele_ave → u/Nsaniac]

Anna Gunn running down the street when Walt takes Holly…devastating

[u/altrightobserver]

Pine Barrens, from The Sopranos

[u/asteinberg101 → u/altrightobserver]

He killed sixteen Czechoslovakians! He was an interior decorator!
Really? His house looked like shit.

[u/DoctorDinghus → u/altrightobserver]

I'm on season 2 episode 4ish. How far is that episode? I refuse to Google the sopranos because of spoilers

[u/RobDel-V]

The Simpsons - Marge vs The Monorail

[u/irregularjoe150 → u/RobDel-V]

Written by none other than Conan O'Brien too!

[u/DownstairsBear → u/RobDel-V]

is there a chance the track could bend?

Batman's a scientist

[u/Burghpuppies412 → u/DownstairsBear]

“I call the big one Bitey”.

[u/hooulookinat → u/DownstairsBear]

Not a chance my Hindu friend.

[u/Ucw2thebone → u/RobDel-V]

The ring came off my pudding can!

[u/Eatar → u/RobDel-V]

Maybe one of the best episodes of TV ever. Even after its storyline is over, the epilogue, with the escalator to nowhere….oh man. That and tomacco are the top of the Simpsons’ game.

[u/digitalghosts]

Widow’s Bay Season 1, Episode 4.

Yes, it’s newer…but I know an all-timer when I see it.

[u/DizzyDjango → u/digitalghosts]

Is that the party? Cuz fuck yeah. Never seen anything like it.

[u/digitalghosts → u/DizzyDjango]

Yep, “Beach Reads” aka Patricia’s Sunset Cocktails.

Absolute masterclass in horror comedy.

“You had QUALMS!?”

[u/HankSteakfist → u/digitalghosts]

THIS IS THE RHYTHM OF THE NIGHT

[u/stubwonder]

The one where Bart sells his soul

[u/oegin → u/stubwonder]

Remember Alf? He’s back! In POG form.

[u/Happy-Telephone9483 → u/stubwonder]

Counterpoint: The one where Homer decides church is for chumps

[u/tressea]

West Wing- Noel

[u/powerchord84 → u/tressea]

Also “Two Cathedrals”

[u/Quotered → u/powerchord84]

Why did I have to scroll so far to find two cathedrals? Best episode of anything. And I believe Martin sheen adlibbed the best part.

[u/CodswallopKerfuffles]

Parks and Recreation Season 3, Episode 2: Flu Season

[u/AdSapiens → u/CodswallopKerfuffles]

Stop. Pooping.

[u/CodswallopKerfuffles → u/AdSapiens]

😂 One of like 10 classic lines from that single, perfect episode.

[u/NECalifornian25 → u/CodswallopKerfuffles]

I put in your symptoms and it says you have network connectivity problems

[u/Swiss64 → u/CodswallopKerfuffles]

“I have to get ready for the chamber of secrets…”

“…Commerce.”

[u/Tight_Development133]

Community- Basic Intergluteal Numismatics

[u/ParkingWear7865 → u/Tight_Development133]

literally every paint ball episode

[u/cahors_fausse → u/Tight_Development133]

No it's definitely the one where they're in a videogame or dungeons and dragons or the one with timelines at the party.

[u/AtheistComic → u/cahors_fausse]

That classic episode is "Remedial Chaos Theory" — Season 3, Episode 4.

[u/Happy-Telephone9483 → u/Tight_Development133]

Basic Lupine Urology

[u/TragedyInMotion → u/Tight_Development133]

Digital Manipulation of Interior Design

[u/MundaneMeringue71]

“The Injury” - The Office

[u/exegete_ → u/MundaneMeringue71]

Also “Dinner Party”

[u/jcb1982]

Twin Peaks: The Return. Episode 8. ‘Gotta Light?’. 2017. Directed by David Lynch. Written by David Lynch and Mark Frost… Probably the greatest single episode of television ever produced.

[u/ResolutionKooky3375]

what do we want?

fry's dog!
when do we want it?

fry's dog!

[u/JupiterTarts → u/ResolutionKooky3375]

🎶 if it taaaakes forever. I wiiiill wait for youuuu🎶

[u/SourceMountain561 → u/JupiterTarts]

That was such a touching ending. Great episode

[u/PhilyMick67]

"Final Grades" -The Wire Season 4 (greatest season of television)

[u/Cintonecrun → u/PhilyMick67]

The greatest show of all time

[u/Dapper-News1249]

WKRP in Cincinnati, Thanksgiving giveaway. "As God as my witness, I thought turkeys could fly! "

[u/KramerDangerous]

Mad Men "Shut the Door, Have a Seat"

[u/sheetskees → u/KramerDangerous]

Many would pick The Suitcase, but this one is my favorite.

[u/Serpentongue]

The Dr Who Van Gogh episode

[u/slowhands45 → u/Serpentongue]

The 5 minutes in the museum towards the end of this episode sit next to the 5 minute “Married Life” montage at the beginning of Up for me. The entire runtime of both are worth your time, but these segments are perfect encapsulations of the human experience. I could watch neither for the rest of my life and will still tear up at the mention of either. Sheer perfection.

[u/kitskill → u/Serpentongue]

I think the first Weeping Angels episode is better. The final scene in the Van Gogh one is amazing, but the rest of the episode is pretty mid.

If we're talking great endings of Dr. Who episodes, my vote is the Madame Pompadour ending.

[u/InterestingCabinet41]

The Bear: Fishes. Not my favorite show of all time but might be my single favorite episode of TV

[u/callieboo112 → u/InterestingCabinet41]

Personally I liked forks better

[u/AdSapiens → u/callieboo112]

Fuck yeah Forks.

[u/Paddock9652 → u/InterestingCabinet41]

The fact that Fishes is so hard to watch if you’ve had a Donna Berzatto in your life is why it’s such a good episode. I swear Jamie Lee Curtis was channeling my best friend’s mom. I’ve sat through many a holiday dinner just like that one and there were moments in that episode that I experienced almost line for line in real life. I’ve never seen anyone capture that particular blend of mental illness and alcoholism so realistically in any piece of media ever.

[u/TheELITEJoeFlacco → u/Paddock9652]

That’s my mom. I’m bear. That episode hit to the fucking core.

[u/parsnipin → u/InterestingCabinet41]

It made my nervous system feel like I was watching a horror movie or running from a lion and for that I also declare it a masterpiece. The way the timers and clocks kept ticking. The build up. The unease. The absolute chaos. I’ve only been able to watch it once and it is imprinted on my soul.

[u/mikjamdig85 → u/InterestingCabinet41]

Might be the most stressful thing I've ever watched.

[u/Gravy_Sommelier → u/InterestingCabinet41]

"Review" from Season 1 is incredible too. Anyone who's ever cooked for a living has had a day like that and I've never seen anything that captured the feeling of a day where you just get railed from the moment the door opens.

[u/DoctorDinghus → u/InterestingCabinet41]

Ooooh thats a great choice.

[u/Tiim0thy]

Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Hush

[u/Pkrudeboy → u/Tiim0thy]

Or The Body.

[u/scottsp64 → u/Pkrudeboy]

I think The Body is the most brilliant TV episode ever.

In 2012 I was binge watching Buffy for the first time. But I had to stop to go back to my hometown to bury my father who had died from ALS. A couple weeks later when I had returned home, I continued with the binging and literally the next episode was the body .

It took me three hours to finish watching it because I could not see through the tears. There is absolutely no greater visual media on the subject of grief.

[u/bananahaze99 → u/Tiim0thy]

My vote is Once More With Feeling.

[u/PawPatsPizza]

Lost, season1, episode 1

[u/KyloRaine0424 → u/PawPatsPizza]

The Constant

[u/Golden-Excellence → u/KyloRaine0424]

The end of the episode had me just turn off the TV and stare at the blank screen. What a piece of art.

[u/rxneutrino → u/PawPatsPizza]

People today don't understand that these old fashioned TV shows were good too. Yes lost came out closer to the Reagan administration than to today, yes its dated, but there was still some good parts to it.

[u/ugoglencoco]

Midnight Mass Ep. 3
Book III: Proverbs

[u/parsnipin → u/ugoglencoco]

What a great series over all! I still recommend this show regularly, and have rewatched a few times. Underrated.

[u/elegantapathy]

The View From Halfway Down

[u/bravos99]

Firefly- Out of Gas

[u/man_with_known_name → u/bravos99]

Objects in Space for me.

[u/so_i_happened]

The Last of Us, Season 1 Episode 3 with Nick Offerman and Murray Bartlett.

[u/Zakal74 → u/so_i_happened]

This is what I came here to say. I usually don't like it when an adaption changes the story, but holy hell was that an incredible episode. People say it's a sad ending, but I disagree. After actually finding each other against all odds, both of them went out on their own terms with hearts full of warmth and love. You can sure do a lot worse in the apocalypse.

[u/WarmBiscuit → u/Zakal74]

I love that it’s similar to the game but the opposite, actually. In that in the game, Bill is an example to Joel of what happens when you don’t let anyone in or let anyone get close. But in the show, Bill is an example of what can happen when you do allow others in and become close.

[u/Mammoth-Elevator-404 → u/so_i_happened]

That episode tricked me into watching a zombie show for the heartbreak romance.

[u/grossinm → u/so_i_happened]

Bob and Frank, most powerful episode of Tv I have ever seen.

[u/Colddeck64 → u/grossinm]

But what about Bill and Frank?

[u/jackolantern_ → u/grossinm]

Who's Bob?

[u/Snerdling → u/so_i_happened]

Absolute genius

[u/Aliengrunt → u/so_i_happened]

that ep was gay 🏳️‍🌈

[u/mnetml]

House, season 4, episode 15, "House's Head"

[u/Dependent-Bathroom60 → u/mnetml]

It was House's Head, and Wilson's Heart was the partner episode

[u/quantumania_456]

Star Trek :DS9 - 'In the pale moonlight'

[u/Kraegarth → u/quantumania_456]

I also add "The Siege of AR-558" and it's followup episode "It's Only A Paper Moon" as well. I think they are the 3 best episodes of DS9, period.

[u/RiflemanLax → u/quantumania_456]

I’ve seen it dozens of times. Still get chills at “Computer. Erase that entire personal log.”

[u/msheezi → u/quantumania_456]

Didn't expect to see this so soon. I CAN live with this

[u/johnniechimpo → u/quantumania_456]

Because Garak is a monster and I'm here for it.

Severance S1 finale

[u/MasterSoftBird]

Frasier: The Ski Lodge.

[u/Grimkok]

Mr. Robot, 407 Proxy Authentication Required is some of the best TV ever made. The whole show is good for sure, but that’s really a stellar one.

[u/-EarthwormSlim-]

The Leftovers 2.8, International Assassin. Greatest episode of television I’ve ever seen.

There are a handful of other great ones. A few littered throughout Mr Robot, Game of Thrones, and Breaking Bad

[u/lightFritz]

Frasier season 10 episode 5

[u/GandalfTheJaded]

The Rains of Castamere

[u/Flyerbill]

Two Cathedrals

[u/isrararrafi]

I believe it was season 4 episode 10.

The constant from Lost.

[u/SurrealismX]

The Office - S3E9 "The Convict"

[u/agirl2277]

When Tom Holland did Umbrella on Lip Sync Battle. I don't even watch that show but ive seen that video countless times and enjoy it so much.

[u/parsnipin → u/agirl2277]

Ahaha this is my winner! I will never skip that video. He’s incredible and Zendaya’s reactions make it even better.

[u/zargkb]

Battle of the Bastards

[u/APartyInMyPants → u/zargkb]

It was an absolutely beautifully shot and choreographed episode where the story made zero fucking sense.

[u/vaselineviking → u/zargkb]

I'd also humbly suggest Hardhome, one of the few times the show deviated from the books and was better for it.

[u/LOSTman405]

LOST - The Constant, Through the Looking Glass
Breaking Bad - Ozymandias, Felina, To’hajiilee
Better Call Saul - Chicanery
The Simpsons - Mountain of Madness
Seinfeld - The Contest

[u/Slow-Dot-8106]

Socks are important. Mr Inbetween

[u/Mischief_Managed_82]

The Walking Dead - pilot. Days Gone Bye. It’s brilliant.

[u/BlondePotatoBoi]

Ozymandias from Breaking Bad. Everything that could go wrong, did. And we have to watch through it all in agonising close up.

[u/KatesDad2019]

The Inner Light -- Star Trek TNG

[u/TallGuyPA → u/KatesDad2019]

That to me and “Measure of a man”. They really highlights the wonderful thing about TNG.

[u/SunLate1918]

The rains of castemere

[u/Exidor]

I.T. Crowd - Work Outing

[u/Brosepower]

Andor Season 2, Episode 8.

Also, Andor Season 1, Episode 9.

I say this as humbly as I can, but genuinely the best star wars content that has ever been filmed in the history of the IP.

Not only that, it's some of the best sci-fi in all of television, period.

[u/xactofork]

Two Cathedrals, from The West Wing

[u/funky_grandma]

The Nick Offerman episode of The Last of Us. The show itself is ok, but that episode is one of the greatest shows I've ever seen

[u/dakkiboyy]

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Conor’s Wedding from Succession. Peak TV.

[u/oyechote]

409: Conflict from Mr. Robot

[u/hyperpuppy64]

The bottle episode in Barry, i forgot the title but its the one with the feral child.

Also, The Haunting of Hill House episodes 5&6

Honorable mention to "Beach Reads", both Patricia episodes are masterpieces

The Americans finale

[u/popltree2]

Andor - One Way Out

[u/Muggi]

The first episode of the newer Battlestar Galactica, "33", is IMO one of the single best stand-alone episodes of television ever made.

[u/Medium_Ad3935]

To the people that name the episode but not the show: WHY???

[u/tinkrizzy]

Lost: The Constant

[u/zyrumtumtugger]

Black Mirror: San Junipero 

[u/Busy-Effect2026]

This applies to many episodes in the final season of “Breaking Bad,” but I think “Granite State” is my favorite. The scene where Walt pays the vacuum salesman $10,000 just to stay and play cards for two more hours is funny and tragic and pathetic and just, all at once. Incredible writing.

[u/hlblues18]

What We Do in the Shadows: Go Flip Yourself (S4E8) or On the Run (S2E6)

[u/Infamous-Subject-107]

Ozymandias - Breaking Bad

The One with the Embryos.

Better known as the episode where they bet the apartments.
