20 TV Episodes That Are Totally Flawless
7. Battle Of The Bastards - Game Of Thrones
Taking a month to film, with the employment of hundreds of crew members, extras and hours of prep, Game of Thrones' season six masterpiece The Battle of the Bastards offers up a riveting conclusion to the epic Stark/Bolton war.
In the episode, Jon Snow leads his army into one final battle, standing off against the evil Ramsey Bolton before the episode descends into a seemingly never-ending, impossibly brutal action sequence that features spotless one-takes, bloody shocks and too many heartstopping moments of dread to count.
The show's greatest clash between good and evil, The Battle of the Bastards lives up the hype of Ramsey's rise to power and psychopathic thirst for violence, and between its battle sequences, Jon's near-death experience and the tension-riddled final stand of the innocent Rickon Stark, it might be the best episode of the entire series.
