Plenty of actors and actresses break into the mainstream every year, becoming household names by showcasing their acting talents. However, some stars never get the recognition they deserve, and Rhea Seehorn is one of them. Most fans will know her from her breakout role in Better Call Saul, where she delivered Emmy-caliber performances that cemented her as a fan favorite.
However, Better Call Saul isn't the only role she has done; Seehorn has starred or cameoed in plenty of memorable series. That is why this list will rank her ten best TV shows based on her prominence in each, her performance, the show's overall quality, and memorability. Hopefully, fans will expand their search and watch some of these shows, because Seehorn excels in each one of them, no matter how minor her role.
10 'Monster High' (2022–2024)

One of these shows is not like the other, and that would be the hit children's show Monster High. Seehorn plays Medusa, a famous mythological creature, this time starring in a kids' show as one of the parents. Based on the famous toy brand, Monster High had a couple of seasons, following the monster students, staff, and family members as they roam around the titular school.
Seehorn is known for her dramatic acting, which makes it strange to see her on Monster High, but it has positive reviews, and she has a somewhat prominent role. Starring in four episodes, she had time to establish herself as a fun new addition. It may not be her best show or performance, but it is notable to be on this list, even if it isn't something fans would generally watch.
9 'Invincible' (2021–)

Next up on this list is another animated project, but this time, it is more popular and mature. Invincible broke out onto the scene because of its epic action, engaging characters, and original narrative. Fans may not have noticed it, but Seehorn had a minor role, playing Andressa, the Empress of Thraxa and second wife of Omni-Man.
She may not have had a significant role, but she portrayed Andressa for two episodes, and in a series as good as Invincible, it deserves a spot on this list. Fans don't realize that Seehorn is an underrated voice actor, but this role proves she can nail it. She is deserving of a larger role in the future, but for now, this is enough to prove her talent to fans.
8 'Homicide: Life on the Street' (1993–1999)

Since Seehorn hasn't appeared in many shows, a lot of the entries on this list only feature her in shows for a handful of episodes. Another is Homicide: Life on the Street, a police procedural drama that details fictional crimes in Baltimore. She only stars in one episode, as Jenny, which was also her on-screen debut.
Homicide: Life on the Street is one of the most realistic and authentic crime dramas, focusing on genuine storytelling inspired by real events. Seehorn may have appeared in only one episode, but she made the most of it, feeling like a seasoned veteran with her tragic, nuanced, and impressive performance. This may not have been the most popular show, but it features one of Seehorn's best single-episode performances.
7 'Whitney' (2011–2013)

After three entries of single-episode shows, Seehorn's first major show on this list is Whitney. Whitney (Whitney Cummings) and Alex (Chris D'Elia) are going through a rough patch in their marriage, and their group of friends includes a recent divorcee, a romantic idealist, and a modern-day renaissance man. Together, this eccentric group of characters tries to make things work, hoping Whitney and Alex's relationship won't go stale.
This series as a whole isn't great, but it is one of her most prominent roles, appearing in 38 episodes. Despite that, this show deserves a mention, as it was one of her first major shows, making it an important role for her. Seehorn mainly focuses on dramas, so trying her hand at comedy was a fun experiment, and she definitely excelled. Whitney may not be a good show, but it is an essential part of Seehorn's acting career.
6 'I'm With Her' (2003–2004)

Not to be confused with the band, I'm With Her is a sitcom based on the relationship between writer/creator Chris Henchy and Brooke Shields. When a small-time teacher has a chance meeting with a movie star, the two sense a spark, and then the chemistry begins. Seehorn plays Cheri, the younger and overprotective sister of Alex (Teri Polo), who finds it baffling and wrong for her to go out with a "commoner."
I'm With Her never got the ending it wanted, and was canceled after only one season. There is nothing too remarkable about this show, offering some charm, romance, and comedy, but ultimately, it doesn't do anything different. Seehorn is only a side character, but was featured in every single episode, making this the most significant role of her career at that point. While Seehorn is up to bigger things, this humble beginning is nice to rewatch.
5 'Franklin & Bash' (2011–2014)

Everyone enjoys a lawyer show here and there, but most of them are so focused on the drama and authenticity. Franklin & Bash, on the other hand, is an unconventional comedy, following the two titular lawyers who are also best friends. When a notable law firm hires the duo, they help inject life into the drab atmosphere. Still, not everyone appreciates it, particularly Damian (Reed Diamond), a no-nonsense lawyer who attempts to get them fired.
Seehorn appears in 11 episodes of Franklin & Bash as Ellen Swatello, an assistant district attorney who isn't a fan of the duo and is overshadowed by her coworkers. Like many of the roles on this list, Seehorn doesn't get to shine too much in Franklin & Bash, but she still has a solid role that helps flesh out and give more meaning to the side events of this show. For viewers wanting more of Seehorn, this comedic lawyer show is a fun change of pace.
4 'Veep' (2012–2019)

Out of all the shows on this list, Veep is arguably the most popular and critically acclaimed, and is regarded as one of the best television shows of all time. When Selina Meyers (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) finally becomes Vice-President, her life doesn't turn out the way she thought it would. From putting out political fires to meeting sketchy and incompetent people to managing her public and private life, Selina's life got a lot more chaotic.
Many fans didn't know that Seehorn starred in Veep, and that is probably because she only appeared in the final season as Michelle York, the White House Chief of Staff to the president during her second term. Only appearing in five episodes, this wasn't Seehorn's biggest role, but the quality and name of the show alone are enough to be high on this list. She deserved a bigger role, but still made the most of her time as a good side character.
3 'Cooper's Bar' (2022–2023)

It took a while, but this is the first entry where Seehorn is the main or a significant character in a show, which only speaks to how underrated she is in Hollywood. Cooper's Bar follows Kris Latimer (Seehorn), the biggest jerk in Hollywood, who stumbles upon the titular bar. Cooper (Louis Mustillo) and his friends want one last shot to make it big, and Kris might be their only hope.
Fans will notice some familiar faces who starred alongside Seehorn before, such as Cummings in Whitney and Patrick Fabian in Better Call Saul. Cooper's Bar is a wholesome, fun, and charming experience where Seehorn gets to showcase the best of her acting, from comedic timing to dramatic flair. All episodes are just mini segments, making it a short and sweet series that doesn't overstay its welcome but offers enough for fans to feel satisfied.
2 'Pluribus' (2025–)
Fans should definitely check out most of the previous shows, but Seehorn's newest show has already proven to be a must-watch modern masterpiece. Created by Vince Gilligan, Pluribus follows Carol Sturka (Seehorn), one of only thirteen people immune to an alien virus that has rendered the rest of humanity a content hive mind. She must now escape the hive mind's clutches and try to end this fake happiness.
Pluribus is an instant classic, with fans adoring this world, lore, plot, and characters even without the rest of the episodes. Praised for its unique premise, stylized tone, and gripping story, it could be the best TV show of 2025. However, Seehorn truly excels as the protagonist, delivering the best acting of her career that should earn her an Emmy, if she isn't snubbed again. Seehorn demands attention and doesn't waste it, truly being the highlight of Pluribus.
1 'Better Call Saul' (2015–2022)

Pluribus may be in the spotlight now, but it still needs more time before it can compare to one of the greatest TV shows of all time, Better Call Saul. Seehorn stars as Kim Wexler, an old friend of Jimmy (Bob Odenkirk) who becomes increasingly more involved in his schemes. Will she be able to maintain her illustrious path as a lawyer, or will Saul's trajectory bring her down with him?
Many said there didn't need to be another show after Breaking Bad, but Better Call Saul proved the doubters wrong, arguably being better than its predecessor. The show is renowned for its engaging plot, complex characters, and dynamic relationships, all of which build into a slow-burning masterpiece. However, Kim was one of the best parts, becoming a standout character who gave more life, emotion, and tragedy to the franchise. Better Call Saul is still Seehorn's best work, and it'll be hard ever to top this classic.
