Admit it, Emmy voters, there’s a very slim chance you’ll have enough time to binge all the terrific new and returning dramas available via broadcast, cable and streaming this season. And how to prioritize, really? Yellowjackets should be a mandatory first stop, but you might want to cleanse your palate with The Gilded Age and Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty before moving back to something dark and heavy like Euphoria. Allow us to offer some assistance: We’ve highlighted some of our favorite actors and what made their work so special over the last year. Our recommendations should never serve as a substitute for a good binge session; God forbid we should deprive you from attending a Christine Baranski masterclass. But when it comes to great performances, we know one when we see one.
