If there was still any doubt that "the small screen" is delivering some of the greatest performances across all content platforms, then this year's TV actors should put that debate to rest. From Black freedom fighters in Britain, to abuse survivors dealing with trauma, these performers knocked it out of the park. With such an embarrassment of riches, some of these incredible thespians will inevitably be snubbed by Emmy voters. But they'll always hold a special place in my heart. Here are my picks for the Top 10 TV Performances of the 2020-2021 TV Season:
1. Shaun Parkes, Small Axe 2. Michaela Coel, I May Destroy You 3. Letitia Wright, Small Axe 4. Ethan Hawke, The Good Lord Bird 5. Kate Winslet, Mare of Easttown 6. Paapa Essiedu, I May Destroy You 7. Elisabeth Moss, The Handmaid's Tale 8. Kaley Cuoco, The Flight Attendant 9. Gillian Anderson, The Crown 10. Weruche Opia, I May Destroy You
Honorable Mention: The cast of Hamilton
