10 best television episodes of 2010, yo!

[chani]

I usually dislike the lists you find on the internet or rather I always disagree with them, but I can go behind this one that I found through whedonesque .

I would have added an episode from FRINGE (probably "The Plateau") but I'm rather satisfied, and  "Fly" was indeed an unforgettable moment of television.

1. Fly, “Breaking Bad.” Two guys spend a night in a secret meth lab, chasing a fly. That shouldn’t work as an engrossing episode of television, yet Fly is the single best hour of TV this year. What could be dull or silly in pedsetrian hands managed, instead, to showcase everything that is amazing about “Breaking Bad,” from the writing to the direction to the consistently wonderful performances of Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul. One Minute almost made this list and, yes, it’s a fanstastic episode with the most intense minute of television this year, but there’s a quiet beauty in Fly which we rarely get to see on TV.

But I don't even watch half these shows!

Although The Walking Dead was amazing. I'd go for one of the later ones as the better ones though, found them increasingly devastating as I got to know the characters.

The pilot of The Walking Dead was really good but it was uneven after that IMO. Some stuff was just unncessary. The penultimate episode was good but the finale was disappointing. I will watch season 2 though.

You should watch Breaking Bad, there's nothing better on tv!
