Performances are often the first thing that is talked about, and there are a number of actors, most certainly, who owned the series with their incredible ‘act’. We have listed down 60 best performances by International artists in web shows this decade.

OTT platforms have allowed creators to make something bold and exceptional. This, in turn, has given actors much more room to show off their acting skills. In the past few years, we have seen some revolutionary shows with memorable characters. This is only possible because writers are empowering actors with meatier roles. Actors are motivated to work in a web-series as they know that the story will focus on all the characters and not just the protagonist. This leads to multiple incredible characters in one show itself. Example – Glow

There are thousands of shows with some great acting performances. And many shows have incredible performances too. Please note that this list focuses on performances and not performers.
