So, normally, I would explain to you what about each of these episodes I love. However, this year has kind of deflated me. In general, I have not posted as often as I would have liked, because I have not really been able to find the motivation. Moving forward, I plan to take a break from posting here at all, but will continue updating Twitter and Facebook with TV news and opinions. And hopefully, I will find my inspiration again in 2018. If nothing else, I will be working very hard to get Beto O’Rourke elected to the United States Senate in Texas.

But, for now, this is my list of favorite episodes, not necessarily what I believe are the best episodes of the year, just my favorites. I would still love to hear what are some of your favorites, so please share them with me in the comments!

1. This Is Us – Memphis

2. Sweet/Vicious – Fearless

3. The Leftovers – The Book of Nora

4. The Good Place – Michael’s Gambit

5. The Bold Type – Carry the Weight

6. Orphan Black – To Right the Wrongs of Many

7. Black Sails – XXXVIII.

8. One Day at a Time – Quinces

Honorable Mentions: Jane the Virgin – Chapter Sixty-Four; The CW’s Crisis on Earth-X; Kevin (Probably) Saves the World – Probably; Dear White People – Chapter V; Big Little Lies – You Get What You Need; Game of Thrones – The Spoils of War; American Gods – Come to Jesus; Sense8 – What Family Actually Means; iZombie – Twenty-Sided, Die; and Outlander – A. Malcolm. I also could have included the entire third season of 12 Monkeys, because it was phenomenal.
