Alexandra Daddario, who has been on both _True Detective_ and _New Girl_, amongst other things, though not as a main cast member.

Oh, and Sarah Rafferty on _Suits_.

My vote goes to [Briga Heelan](https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/images/gettyimages-628757954-1492611474.jpg) lately of _Great News_. Unfortunately, like Jennifer Love Hewitt, she seems to be a show killer as _Great News_ seems to be on the road to cancellation.

I used to think Tea Leoni on “Flying Blind” was the most beautiful woman on TV.

Now it’s Adelaide Kane who plays Mary Queen of Scots on “Reign”. She is absolutely stunning. [Adelaide Kane - IMDb](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2560043/?ref_=tt_cl_t1)

Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman is very tough to beat.

I knew what that link would be before even clicking on it.

I don’t completely agree with her on the specifics, but I can see what she’s getting at.

In a sea of gorgeous people on _Game of Thrones_, I think [Indira Varma](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0890055/mediaviewer/rm539938560) is simply stunning. I first saw her on _Luther_ and I’ve noticed her in other British television too.

I watch _Burn Notice_ because I think it’s amusing (and I adore Bruce Campbell), but I kinda like the view of badass and sexy [Gabrielle Anwar](http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000270/mediaviewer/rm4258302720).

Sarah Bolger as Mary I was the best reason to watch _ **The Tudors** _:

My wife and I would watch Burn Notice. It seemed as if GA’s sexiness should have been self-evident. My wife asked me if she was sexy and I told her only if one likes collar bones and rib cages. She lost far too much weight for the show; before that, she was quite comely. Not “most attractive actresses on TV shows” comely, but still quite attractive.

Many, talented and beautiful women listed thus far. One that I haven’t seen yet is [Rose McIver](https://www.google.ca/search?q=rose+mciver&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwivoLH6g77UAhUq0YMKHYtDBnMQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=969) and [Rose McGowan](https://www.google.ca/search?q=rose+mciver&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwivoLH6g77UAhUq0YMKHYtDBnMQ_AUICigB&biw=1920&bih=969#tbm=isch&q=rose+mcgowan), both of whom I think are gorgeous.

She _is_ super skinny. I think the skimpy outfits and the high wedge heels they put her in are hilarious for the badassery she is supposed to be performing.
