Melanie Lynskey is truly having ~A Moment~ right now, and it's extremely well-deserved (if not a bit past due). Here are just a few of many reasons to love the Yellowjackets star.
1.She's been landing interesting roles since she was a kid.
2.She cares about telling unusual stories about unusual people.

"I want to tell stories about women who are interesting and complicated and not like people you've seen before," she told the Los Angeles Daily News in 2017.
7.She's dedicated to setting a good example for her daughter.
8.She and her husband (and former costar), Jason Ritter, are super cute and funny together.
The cut @JasonRitter and I saw of episode 8 of Yellowjackets was very rough, with temp effects, etc. When the big plane explosion happened a subtitle said “debris falls from the sky” and he said “ooh, who’s Debris? Have we seen her yet? She survives!” Still laughing about it
9.She found a certain Yellowjacketsscene just as hilarious as the rest of us did.
10.She geeks out over the TV shows and movies she loves as much as her fans geek out over her.
