A so-called "bottle episode" of a TV show refers to an episode that features a minimal number of characters, and are usually set in only one location. Sometimes, these episodes are also set in real time, taking on the effect of stage plays. As such, they are more commonly found in sitcoms, but dramas and various other genres have been seen to use the format to their advantage.
Though some may criticise them for their slow pace or lack of action, I've always been a fan of such episodes. They allow for more in-depth character development, and provide a great opportunity for the actors to showcase their skills.
Below is a list of the ten best bottle episodes of television shows that I've seen.
