Which Show Has the Best First Episode You've Ever Seen?
The 2006 series Dexter has an excellent first episode; everything flows well and gets straight to the point. From that first episode, you know exactly what to expect and what the series is about. Another great pilot is the first episode of the animated series Invincible. Then there’s Miami Vice; while that pilot might not be the most explanatory, it’s quite direct and makes it clear that you’re in for one of the best police dramas of all time.
