The season finales of both “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men” were the best of both AMC series’ seasons. The former was insanely intense and breathless, while the latter was subtler and more slowly revealed its twists. The Thanksgiving episode of “Dexter” showed both Dexter and Arthur in a light under which we hadn’t before seen them, and the third-to-last “Dollhouse” piled on multiple surprises and executed them astonishingly.
The winner:
Flash Forward (No More Good Days)
This pilot kicked off the season’s most intriguing new show with a mysterious blackout experienced ‘round the world. Even if subsequent episodes couldn’t match it, this first installment was awesome.
