20 TV Episodes That Are Totally Flawless

20. You Get What You Need - Big Little Lies

Big Little Lies' first season was one of the most rewarding run of episodes ever put to the small screen - a constantly shocking, devastating tale of family, friendship, murder, deceit and trauma that teased a tantalising mystery and refused to give audiences peace of mind.

That is, until the final episode - You Get What You Need - where everything comes full circle to reveal the full damage of the show's central mystery.

Throughout the episode, every member of the Monterey Five are forced to confront the secrets of their lives head-on, particularly Nicole Kidman's Celeste, who finds herself at the breaking point with her abusive, Jekyll-Hyde husband Perry.

It's an excellent hour of emotional payoffs and remarkable performances that could have easily jumped the shark at the last second, but was terrifying and empowering enough to make watching the previous six hours of the series totally worth it.
