What if you only watch the highest-rated episode of each show? Well, I’ve made that list for you
There’s a special kind of pain when starting a new show. You’ve got eight seasons to go, everyone on the internet is swearing it’s “life-changing,” and you’re sitting there wondering which episode is actually worth your time. Because let’s be real, not every show strikes gold every time.
So I did what any responsible TV junkie would do: I went to IMDb, the holy grail of ratings, and found the single highest-rated episode of each major show. Think of this as your shortcut to the good stuff, no filler, no “it gets better after season 3”, just episodes that made people lose their minds en masse.
