What makes a great TV episode? You just know it when you see it. The Pitt's season 2 finale, where Noah Wyle held Baby Jane Doe and finally cracked open Dr. Robby's heart? Perfect. Or "Lodging," the Widow's Bay episode where Matthew Rhys drunkenly talks to the walls and sends up The Shining? Phenomenal. For all the best TV episodes of the year so far, keep reading below.

From great shows coming to a close (Hacks, The Bear) to fresh new series with big ideas (Widow’s Bay, Rooster), TV really has it all this year.
|
We’re looking back at a banger of a year featuring Severance season 2, Adolescence, and debuts for both The Pitt and The Studio, just the first four months of 2026 so far have produced some killer contenders. Widow’s Bay is already shaping up to be the show of the summer. Hacks is pulling out all the stops for its final season, and Beef season 2 blew us away with its depiction of modern love.
Of course, the new king of TV, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle), also returned for an emotional season 2 of The Pitt. The Bear just dropped a surprise episode ahead of its fifth and final season, A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms pulled off a feel-good Game of Thrones spinoff, and Steve Carell returned to his comedy roots on HBO’s Rooster. What’s more? Audiences saw James Marsden on three(!) hit shows this year across Paradise, Your Friends & Neighbors, and Jury Duty Presents: Company Retreat. Even if it feels a bit too early to call it—I’d say that 2026 is certainly giving last year a run for its money.

Bruce Springsteen—man, myth, rock demigod—materializes at a mic as if beamed to it from beyond the clouds, drawing thunderous applause from the sold-out crowd in Phoenix’s Mortgage Matchup Center. Springsteen is decked in a pinstripe shirt and a tie beneath a vest and slim jeans and has traded his once-standard rocker boots for a pair of big-soled running shoes. He’s backed by a 19-member version of the E Street Band, whose ranks tonight include guitarist Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine, a catalyst for this tour.
Gandering around the arena—I count more Black folks on stage than I see in the crowd, not to mention scant brown people—I have questions about Springsteen’s fans, about what their monolithic nature bespeaks of their paradigms.
