I was recently rewatching the IT Crowd, which is one of my favourite shows and after finishing Season 2 Episode 1, "The Work Outing" for the hundredth of time I realized this is probably my favourite sitcom episode of all time. I just can't get bored of the jokes and the delivery. The writing is gold, and the story escalates from funny to absolutely insane hilarious. Makes me laugh every time. Half the dialogue I quote to this day.

There are many good episodes I love, and could put here as close seconds: probably most of the Futurama series, a dozen of episodes of The Office or some classics from the Friends, I could think of.

So I would like to hear what episodes of any TV show is your favourites and why? Doesn't needs to be necessarily comedy, anything from television is fair game.

Think of it as a "what single item would you bring to a desert island with you" question, just with an episode of a TV show :)

They wouldn't work by themselves (for the desert island thing) but there are two season finales I love. Dark season 2 and Mr Robot season 3. Two great seasons with tension being built up and these gave just the perfect ending.

Since you like both Dark and Mr Robot, may I recommend you the Movie 'Who Am I'?

Without giving away too much, it's basically Mr Robot made by Baran bo Odar, the creator of Dark, combining aspects of both

But full disclosure, it's only subbed and finding copies outside of Germany is a bit though

[–] MicrowavedTea@infosec.pub 1 points 4 days ago

Huh I actually watched that without knowing it's from the same guy. I just thought Germans make good movies/shows. Now that you say it it does feel similar to both shows.

Dark is massively underrated, we were obsessed with it witth my wife. It was a separate evening before each new season to binge recaps on youtube to have a fresh knowledge of every character in every timeline.

Mr Robit is definetly in my top 10. I loved the "heist" episode, where they didnt say anything the whole time. It was just another level of television. Also the season finales are great.

The episode of The Magicians where they sing Under Pressure.

Idk what it is, but I've rewatched that scene 1000 times.

[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Magicians is such an underrated TV show. Its surprising how many people in my life didn't binge it all the through

Mine is recent, but I've watched the specific episode about a dozen times now because I think it's just brilliant.

S2E5 of Interview with the Vampire, "Don't Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape". It's immaculate. I can quote the entire San Francisco argument.

[–] deus@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's a very recent one but my answer right now has to be Arcane, season 2, episode 7. It's a brilliant show from start to finish but this episode in particular is such a gut punch it still hurts to think about.

Dr who The 11 hour

Having been told about Dr who, and having seen a fee episodes prior. This one encapsulated the entire series for me and explained all of the why's I had with previous doctors and previous companions

To have river song start with the 10th doctor and carry on just allowed me to inhabit any episode past or present.

Now as a whovien I will cheat and say part one and two of the pandorica was a fantastic episode.

With honorable mentions to the Christmas special with all three doctors

[–] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 2 points 4 days ago

Will not spoil it, but I absolutely love/loved the series finale episode of Summer Camp Island. Such a wholesome ending with such a good payoff, in my opinion, to everything that happens in the later seasons when the show decided "we want to be a story driven series!" more than the first and maybe 2nd season.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

A lot of great shows aren't coming to mind, but one great show is:

Atlanta - The Goof Who Sat by the Door (Season 4, Episode 8)

Without a doubt top 5 funniest episodes of anything I've ever seen. This show was absolutely brilliant, with a lot of great episodes, but this one was... chefs kiss
