Author and screenwriter George R.R. Martin has weighed in to share what he believes to be the most perfect episode of TV of all time. Responding to Vanity Fair’s recent piece that listed off what the site believed were 25 “perfect” episodes of TV, Martin said he was flattered that one of the Game of Thrones episodes he wrote–“Blackwater”–made the cut, but he has a different choice.
“It would have to be the final episode of Six Feet Under,” Martin wrote on his blog. “I liked that series well enough, though I cannot say I loved it as much as I loved Rome or Deadwood or Fargo or a few other shows missing from the list, but that last episode was far and away the best finale in the entire history of television, and I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly do better.”
Six Feet Under is an HBO drama that ran from 2001-2005. It starred Peter Krause, Michael C. Hall, Frances Conroy, and Lauren Ambrose.
