Choosing the best TV episodes is very different from choosing the best TV.
The best episodes might be outstanding hours of shows that fluctuate in quality, or a pivotal character moment or story beat that contextualizes everything else. Sometimes the best episode is part of an almost embarrassing bounty — just one of many consistently brilliant installments in a TV show that blew away both audiences and critics.
IndieWire’s look at the best TV episodes of 2022 is all those things, populated by our usual suspects of top 2022 TV as well as hours we couldn’t forget and shows we gladly binged in a weekend. There is drama, there is comedy, there is literal “Euphoria.” This list has it all. What it doesn’t have, however, is more than one episode from the same show, in an effort to spread the wealth.

“We totally clicked into how far we could push it, but it was the strangest show because it’s not like anything anyone’s ever seen,” remembers production designer Jeremy Hindle about collaborating with director Ben Stiller on the first season of “Severance.” We spoke with Hindle as part of our “Meet the Experts” panel of Emmy-nominated production designers. Watch our exclusive video interview above.
SEEMaking of ‘Severance’: Roundtable panel with Ben Stiller, Adam Scott and more
“Severance” is a sci-fi drama about Lumon Industries, a company that surgically splits its workers’ consciousness: their work selves can’t remember anything about their outside lives, and their outside selves can’t remember anything about their jobs. So it’s a workplace drama tilted towards the bizarre. “It read like ‘The Office,’ but the writing was strange,” Hindle explains. “It really needed a world of its own to kind of take...

On Apple TV+’s drama series Severance, Adam Scott stars as Mark, a mid-level employee at the mysterious Lumon Corporation who, along with his colleagues, has undergone a surgical procedure that separates their home and work personalities in two, keeping the “innies” — as they’re known in the office — in the dark as to whom their “outies” are outside of work. Created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller, Severance follows Mark and his co-workers as they slowly learn more about the company and attempt to align their innie and outie personas under the always-watching powers that be who wish to keep their employees severed for good.
Scott joined THR awards editor Tyler Coates for a one-on-one conversation as part of THR‘s “Closer Look” series.

Since “Severance” premiered on February 18, 2022, the critically acclaimed thriller has been poised to become the next awards breakthrough for Apple TV+. Viewers have been disturbed, captivated and completely transfixed by what takes place both inside and outside of the Lumon Industry walls, where employees agree to a “severance” procedure that separates non-work memories from work memories. But what else is really going on at Lumon?
To celebrate the acclaimed premiere season, watch our special 40-minute “Making of” roundtable discussion with five key players — Emmy-winning director and executive producer Ben Stiller, Critics Choice nominated actor Adam Scott, creator Dan Erickson, cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné and Emmy-winning casting director Rachel Tenner.

Jessica Lee Gagné had shot Ben Stiller’s narrative TV directorial debut, “Escape at Dannemora,” in 2017, but when Stiller told her about his next project, she had a hard time getting on board. The focal point of Apple TV+’s critically acclaimed series “Severance” is an office — a big square room with white walls, beaming fluorescent lights tucked into a low ceiling, four desks at the center, and a green carpet. Outside that is a labyrinth of stark white hallways even brighter than inside the office. Gagné couldn’t think of anything worse as a director of photography.
“There were no windows,” she said. “I can’t not have a window. But ‘Severance’ is probably a good lesson that you can really make [something] what you want it to be.”
Gagné is a meticulous Dp. She hates failure, loves testing, and despite the difficulty it takes to stand up to those...

“In Mrs. Selvig’s house, you see a little bit of a sampler on the wall when she’s spying on Mark across the way,” reveals Andrew Baseman, the set decorator for “Severance” on AppleTV+. “It says something like ‘We must be cut to heal,’ and that was a little something that Dan Erickson wrote. I said, ‘We need some curisms…that if a nosey neighbor peered into the windows it wouldn’t tip off too much. I did it as a needlepoint sampler. Ben [Stiller] liked it so much that he moved it from the kitchen wall to the dining room wall right next to the window. That’s one of my favorite pieces.” Watch the exclusive video interview above.

Jessica Lee Gagné admits she had reservations about jumping on board as the cinematographer for “Severance” on AppleTV+. The psychological thriller is set within a limited office space for much of the series, which may feel constricting to some filmmakers. “I think any cinematographer would have been afraid of ‘Severance,'” she says. Ultimately, it was her working relationship with executive producer and director Ben Stiller that gave her the confidence to sign on. Watch the exclusive video interview above.

“You don’t really know where you are,” Gagné says about the setting of “Severance.” “That was a conversation that happened early on. We don’t want to know what year it is. We know it’s the United States. We are anchoring it somewhere in this society, but it was never defined. It opened doors aesthetically. It didn’t need to be perfectly real.

In Severance, workers at a windowless subterranean cubicle farm have their memories surgically bifurcated. The procedure separates the consciousness of the work self from the personal self—the “innie and outie,” in the parlance of the show—with neither retaining memories from the other half of their existence. Listening to Jessica Lee Gagné talk about her craft, it’s hard to imagine the cinematographer not taking her work home with her. Long after wrapping the show, she’s still irked that the shade of red in a kitchen’s undercabinet lighting isn’t quite right. She’s precise enough to carry .15 Nd filters, because she believes […]

Though it may not feel like it, Severance Season 1 Episode 9 was the most satisfying episode so far.
The Innies achieved their primary goal and learned a lot of information that will shape their future. Whether they will be allowed a future remains to be seen.
We are still left with many questions, but the advances in the action were significant.
It took a long time to get to this point. Admittedly, what the Innies achieved is likely something no other Innies have achieved until now.
Dan Erickson, the creator of the series, wrote this episode, and it shows the care he has for his characters as they all had moments of catharsis and discovery.
If you'd have told me after watching Severance Season 1 Episode 1 that the season finale would be filled with edge-of-your-seat suspense, I wouldn't have believed you, but here we are. After so many episodes of walking slowly down these halls,...

To underscore the strange spin on work-life balance in the new Apple TV Plus series “Severance,” cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné worked closely with production designer Jeremy Hindle on a variety of subtle lighting choices to deliver a world of contrast to audiences.
In the sci-fi drama, which is currently streaming, workers at tech company Lumon Industries have agreed to be microchipped, dividing their memories between home and office.
The corporate world of Lumon is windowless and sparsely furnished, with stark white walls, a deep green carpet and four cubicles for new employee Mark, played by Adam Scott, and co-workers Helly (Britt Lower), Irving (John Turturro) and Dylan (Zach Cherry).
Gagné was able to find lighting cues and nuances in the script to offer variation in the overwhelming white office. “There were things like emergency lighting or a music-dance experience, and every little door they opened or space they used, we...

All happy workplace sitcoms are alike, but each new complication to the Lumen office in “Severance” makes the Apple TV+ series as disturbingly weird in its own way.
The “severed” floor — for employees who have elected to go through a surgical procedure that separates their memories of their time at work from their sense of self after-hours — has all the normal office accoutrements: desks, bad carpet, the worst break room of all time. But it’s also a place slightly out of time, with a modish ’60s aesthetic and nonsense computer operating systems.
Just as the Macrodata Refinement team of Mark (Adam Scott), Dylan (Zach Cherry), Helly (Britt Lower), and Irving (John Turturro) are beginning to realize there may be sinister things going on in Episode 7, they’re treated to a visit from floor manager Milchick (Tramell Tillman). They’ve won “a music dance experience,” the options for which include “Bawdy Funk,...

The highlight of “Severance” Episode 7 has to be the Music/Dance Experience earned by Helly R. (Britt Lower) and enjoyed by all. TheWrap asked the best and worst dancer from that Macro Data Refinement mini-party, Tramell Tillman and Adam Scott, respectively, all about that memorable scene.
First, we made Scott select which musical genre he’d pick from Lumon Industries’ lengthy — and descriptive — list. Yes, we made him sit and patiently listen while we read off the whole damn thing, which is probably longer than you remember.
“It has to be ‘Effusive Ska,'” Scott told TheWrap.
Here’s the full menu:
Bawdy Funk
Bouncy Swing
Bouyant Reggae
Defiant Jazz
Effusive Ska
Exalted Choral
Exciting Rap
Hootin’ Tootin Country
Lofty Orchestral
Maximized Rhythms
Playful Punk
Reckless Disco
Spooky Ambient
Tearful Emo
Thoughtful Grunge
Wholesome Big Band
Wistful Pipes
Helly R. chose “Defiant Jazz,” which doubled as the title of Episode...

In 1921, the film industry was dominated by silent black-and-white projects shot with boxy, wood-bodied 120 cameras using 35mm film. It was two years before the 16mm would be invented, and a few more before camera bodies would shift to metal and synchronized sound would become an option.
When depicting this period for a pivotal premiere sequence that sets up not only the protagonist’s family history but also the racism that even an alternate version of America would endure in HBO’s “Watchmen,” executive producer and director Nicole Kassell wanted to root events firmly in historical truth.
The sequence begins with an African American boy watching a black-and-white film about the first Black sheriff, Bass Reeves. “I imagined the film the young boy is watching was directed by Oscar [Micheaux],” Kassell says. But the calmness of the ritual the boy experiences while watching the movie is interrupted by violence, thrusting him into...

At Sunday's Golden Globes ceremony, Patricia Arquette nabbed the award for best performance by an actress in a limited series or a motion picture made for television for her portrayal of Tilly Mitchell in Escape at Dannemora. In her acceptance speech, she gave a shout-out to her fellow nominees, cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné, aka her "woman Dp," and the crew on the set that transformed her into character every day.
It was during that part of her speech that she got the dreaded bleep, while thanking Yoichi Art Sakamoto, the special-effects makeup artist on set, for her character's teeth. She said, "How many f*cked-up teeth does a person need? I was born with f*cked-up teeth!" to which the audience cracked up.

Chloé Robichaud's Boundaries (2016) is exclusively showing July 31 – August 30, 2018 on Mubi in most countries in the world as part of the series Canada's Next Generation.Politics use to be a men-only territory, but women are now sharing a piece of it. Statistics, however, show that there are still less women than men who chose the political path. It is this rarity that first drew me to these women characters. Furthermore, I was interested by the fact that women, taken by the heavy tasks inherent to the profession of mediator or politician, must revisit the classic family stereotype, only recently deconstructed. And it is precisely this deconstruction of pre-established ideals that challenges and interests me in my work. The idea quickly imposed itself on me because of my interest for politics, and politicians. I must be gaining in maturity and I position myself more strongly as a woman, citizen and film director.

Christopher Abbott essentially has two modes: Intense, and way more intense. The former “Girls” star, whose blooming career is still often seen as a response to his brief time on (and tumultuous exit from) that epochal HBO show, has spent the last few years playing one brooding knuckle-dragger after another, like he’s trying to rid himself of whatever cooties Lena Dunham may have left behind.
From “James White” to “Katie Says Goodbye,” the Greenwich, Ct native seems exclusively drawn to characters who could punch a wall at any moment — you can’t take your eyes off the guy, but it’s hard to shake the feeling that he picks his roles by imagining what might happen if Marlon Brando’s Stanley Kowalski walked off the screen and started wandering through the modern indie landscape.
But that’s all about to change, as Jamie M. Dagg’s “Sweet Virginia” brings...

The current crop of acclaimed Quebec filmmakers shooting feature films south of the border speaks to an unprecedented infatuation on Hollywood’s part with French-Canadian directors.
Among the heavy hitters: Jean-Marc Vallée (“Wild,” “The Dallas Buyers Club,” HBO’s upcoming “Big Little Lies”), Philippe Falardeau (“The Bleeder,” “The Good Lie”), Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival,” “Sicario,” the forthcoming “Blade Runner” sequel), not to mention Xavier Dolan, who’s currently shooting his star-studded English-language debut, “The Death and Life of John F. Donovan.”
But there’s another remarkably prolific, genre-bending Montreal filmmaker – an award-winning festival regular who has clocked in nine features, one medium-length production and shorts to spare over the last decade – who’s never shown much enthusiasm about dipping his toes in the American studio system. No matter how many prizes or festival selections his films rack up (Berlin, Cannes, Locarno and Sundance among them) or how many retrospectives film societies program about his work,...
