Inside No. 9: Merrily, Merrily (2022)
Season 7, Episode 1
10/10
Possibly one of my favourite episodes of, well, anything

Warning: Spoilers
Of course, Inside No. 9 is known for its dark twists and so on and so forth, but this episode is far from dark, even considering the (implied) death at the ending. Frankly, incredibly poignant, if anything. The comedy, drama, everything is toned to a realistic level and of course the red herring synopsis that there's going to be a big falling out at a reunion was always going to have some twist on it considering what show this is but I did not expect it to be such a moving one. Perhaps it's just caught me off guard, but that was incredibly moving. The ending, especially, being so understated yet so clear in its intent, I wish I could put it into words. I'm so glad I caught it live, without any knowledge as to what the plot would have been, hence why I'm spoilering this review despite still being somewhat vague about it. Possibly the best episode of the entire show (yes, better than Christine), and almost certainly of all time.
