Mark your calendar for Mediaweek, October 29-30 in New York City. We’ll unpack the biggest shifts shaping the future of media—from tv to retail media to tech—and how marketers can prep to stay ahead. Register with early-bird rates before sale ends!

We’ve spent all week looking back on television’s highs and lows in 2017: the 10 best shows, the 10 best new TV shows and the 10 most disappointing shows. For the week’s final entry, it’s time to spotlight the year’s five most spectacular performances. These unforgettable turns—one of which was egregiously overlooked by Emmy voters—include actors from the series that topped both the 10 best shows and 10 best new shows lists, as well as the first broadcast series to crack a best-of list this week.
