CAILEE SPAENY Beef (Netflix) I've seen Cailee Spaeny in a few things before, but she's never made much of an impression on me until Beef . She was an endlessly fascinating character on the show. At first glance, she seemed to have it all together but it was very quickly apparent that she did not and was pretty naive in important ways. Spaeny expertly play...

Arthur in Death by Lightning (Netflix) SHEA WHIGHAM as Roscoe Conkling in Death by Lightning (Netflix) And the Winner Is... NICK OFFERMAN Death By Lightning (Netflix) It's no surprise that Nick Offerman is a great actor. He can play comedy and drama equally well and I know we're going to get a great performance no matter the role or show. His portrayal of a pretty unknown president - Chester A. Arthur in Death by Lightning  - was nothing short of fantastic. On top of easily lo...

ANDREW DEYOUNG Widow's Bay "Your Baggage" (Apple TV) Widow's Bay was the surprise hit of the spring and it worked best for me when it wasn't dabbling in the overarching lore of the series but instead doing a sort of "monster of the week."
