As above, anything from the Wire, they're all flippin ace.
On a similar note - there was an episode of The Shield (I think it was early on) where they shot a new member of their team, man that was one of the most tense hours I've spent watching telly. Awesome. Most of the Shield was brilliant.

I'm pretty sure it was in the pilot. I rewatched that with a mate a couple years later and everything we remembered about the first season was actually in the pilot episode. That show started well, but got a bit ridiculous towards the end.
Orphan Black,
Thanks for that. I'd heard of the show but never seen it. Watched 3 episodes back to back last night.
Game of Thrones - The red wedding.
Even though I knew exactly what was coming it was still shocking.

@Cougar remember that the final episode of Blackadder Goes Forth originally aired on 2nd November.
Anyway ...
Fawlty Towers, Communication Problems. The one with Mrs Richards: "I wanted a room with a view of the sea." "Uh, this is the view as far as I can remember, madam." "Well it's not good enough". "Well, may I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? ..."
Mr Robot's already been mentioned, but I have to add the episodes:
405 - Method not allowed
Almost no dialogue spoken for the whole episode, but truly didn't notice till almost the end
and
eps3.4_runtime_err0r.r00
Fourth wall broken in the first couple of minutes and the whole episode looks like one take with no cuts
I miss Mr Robot
Breaking Bad - ozymandias
The Thick of It - too many to choose
Inside No. 9 - Bernie Clifton's Dressing Room
Baldrick warns everyone to be careful of the first step as it could trip someone
It's a splinter isn't it? And he says that could hurt someone.
Orphan Black,
Thanks for that. I’d heard of the show but never seen it.
It's brilliant. Even if you don't buy into it, it's worth watching for the lead actress' skills in kinda the same way that Breaking Bad is worth it for the cinematography.

Some brilliant calls here
Sopranos: Pine Barrens was pure genius
I hated the musical episode of Buffy at the time but now realise it's truly amazing
Rick and Morty: Season 3, Episode 7
The Ricklantis Mixup (tales from the citadel) ,

When it was announced the entire world went "well, Buffy just jumped the shark." But it is an outstanding piece of television for two reasons.
1) It works incredibly well for what it is, a musical. You can buy the soundtrack, cons have singalong sessions. Even self-contained, it's a masterpiece.
2) It's probably the most pivotal episode in the entirety of the show's run, so many plot strands affecting so many characters all come to a head in it. The story arc basically hard-lefts, to do that in a 'novelty' episode rather than having OMWF just being an amusing throwaway episode must have taken some testicular fortitude. Arguably it works because of the yin-yang of the seriousness of the plot with the levity the music brings. No-one gets out of that episode unscathed, take away the tunes and it's dark as a shit after a night on the red wine.
Atlanta is close to perfect. If I had to choose an ep... Teddy Perkins!
Last episode of 6 Feet Under.
