    What's the story

    Meryl Streep, a revered figure in acting, has given some of her most memorable performances in miniseries.

    Her remarkable versatility and profound depth as an actress are evident in these series, where she has embodied a diverse array of characters with precise and subtle skill.

    This article highlights five miniseries that exemplify Streep's extraordinary talent and her ability to captivate audiences with each role.

    Series 1

    'Holocaust'

    Meryl Streep's portrayal of Inga Helms Weiss in the 1978 mini-series Holocaust is a standout early performance.

    The series, which depicts the harrowing experiences of a Jewish family during World War II, allowed Streep to showcase her exceptional talent.

    Her deeply moving and powerful acting earned her an Emmy Award, marking the beginning of what would be a distinguished career.

    Series 2

    'Angels in America'

    In the 2003 miniseries Angels in America, Meryl Streep's talent shone brightly as she took on multiple roles, including a rabbi and a ghost.

    Her ability to convincingly inhabit such diverse characters demonstrated her exceptional range and dedication to her craft.

    This performance earned Streep another Emmy Award, solidifying her reputation as an actress of great skill and versatility.

    Series 3

    'The Politician'

    Meryl Streep's role in The Politician may not fit the traditional miniseries mold, as it is an anthology series with ongoing storylines.

    Nevertheless, her addition to the cast in its second season (2020) was significant.

    Portraying Dede Standish, she injected a level of gravitas into this satirical comedy-drama that centers on political ambition, further showcasing her extensive acting prowess.

    Series 4

    'Big Little Lies'

    Joining an already stellar cast in season two (2019) of Big Little Lies, Meryl Streep played Mary Louise Wright with chilling effectiveness.

    Her portrayal earned critical acclaim for adding complexity to this tale of domestic intrigue set against the backdrop of Monterey's elite society.

    The role demonstrated how effortlessly she could dominate the screen even alongside other high-caliber actresses.

    Series 5

    'The Laundromat'

    The Laundromat, released on Netflix in 2019, may not be a traditional mini-series but its episodic format is reminiscent of one.

    Meryl Streep's performance as Ellen Martin in the film about the Panama Papers scandal is a testament to her versatility.

    She also assumes additional, crucial roles that showcase her exceptional ability to engage viewers through her multifaceted character portrayals.
