I made a similar post recently but as a redditor pointed out, it was lacking female leads!

So this time I'm focusing strictly on female leads who delivered absolute acting masterclasses.

I narrowed it down to 7 iconic powerhouses from 7 of the best shows ever made:

1. Rhea Seehorn as Kim Wexler (Better Call Saul)

2. Carrie Coon as Nora Durst (The Leftovers)

3. Elisabeth Moss as Peggy Olson (Mad Men)

4. Claire Danes as Carrie Mathison (Homeland)

5. Edie Falco as Carmela Soprano (The Sopranos)

6. Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer (Veep)

7. Sarah Snook as Shiv Roy (Succession)

If you could only pick one out of these 7 to take the crown, who are you choosing and why?

(And if your personal #1 isn't listed here,like Lena Headey, Michaela Coel, or Jodie Comer, who would you swap out?)

​

Settling a debate with a friend about who gave the best lead acting performance in TV history.

We narrowed it down to 7 heavy hitters from 7 of the biggest/best shows ever:

1. James Gandolfini as Tony Soprano (The Sopranos)

2. Bryan Cranston as Walter White (Breaking Bad)

3. Jon Hamm as Don Draper (Mad Men)

4. Bob Odenkirk as Jimmy McGill (Better Call Saul)

5. Carrie Coon as Nora Durst (The Leftovers)

6. Kyle MacLachlan as Dale Cooper / Dougie (Twin Peaks)

7. Matthew McConaughey as Rust Cohle (True Detective S1)

If you could only pick one out of these 7, who are you taking and why?

(And if your actual #1 isn't on here, who’d you swap out?)

I can't decide between #5 and #7 ❤️

For me is Friends, no doubt about it.

I must have watched this at least a couple of times per year since 2010, I can't absolutely live without having it in the background while I cook or I clean the house and stuff.

I love how my perceptions and feelings change according to the phase of my life I'm living during the re-watch.

And I love the opening song!!!!

how about you?

I was used to run, like a lot, then hot injured and started feeling anxious and depressed because I couldn't run.

I've been working to heal from the injury but in the meantime I became a serial walker to fight stress and anxiety.

I only wish the healing power of walking was more known out there

...she's staying refrigerated 😼

Been almost 2 years from the NYC marathon (but I did a mix run/walk), and after that only the Rome relay...

I'm sick of this injury and I can't wait to be back on running regularly

how do you cope with injuries and period without training?

I was used to run when stressed or when I needed some alone time for thinking things through, unfortunately I don't know how to manage things differently 😔

​

Seriously!

I'm binge watching The Wire for the first time and I can't help thinking this is one of the best TV show ever.

I love how deep all the relationships and the conversations are, and exchanges like this one has to be some of the best pieces television has to offer!

Omar Little us growing on me, at this rate I will prefer him to McNulty 🙃

​

...for the 5 minutes a day they're actually awake 😅

​

Seriously, WHO CARES?!

The episode "On the Inside" completely blew me away. It felt so detached from the usual TWD style and leaned 100% into pure, unfiltered horror.

I wish horror movies out there were this good!

The vibes here are so perfect! Claustrophobic, unsettling, and genuinely horrifying. The direction and cinematography made the house feel like its own breathing monster, and the actors were incredible. It's crazy how they communicated raw panic without needing words.

(Massive shoutout to Kevin Carroll btw, I love him so much in The Leftovers).

Watching those feral people crawling through the air ducts and walls was top-tier cinema imo. I genuinely wish they had expanded this exact concept into a full standalone movie.

This entire episode creeps me out and lives rent free in my head since the first time I watched it!

Hey all!

I've created r/pickmynextshow a couple of weeks ago with the aim to create a space to discuss tv shows and share recommendations that aren't AI generated.

I'm a tv shows addicted so I wanted to try 🙃

results aren't that bad, I think.

I send DM to users that I find in other subs asking for specific tv shows recommendations and I crosspost some of my posts.

The growth is slow but steady, any additional tip or tricks is more than welcome 🙏🏼
