Favourites: ranked

[Emelee]

I saw a list of "most iconic Twin Peaks characters ranked" and it made me interested in making my own ranking of characters. Not by iconic status, but simply by favourites.

Pick any series you watch or have watched. Rank all main (you may add supporting characters as well) characters from your #1 favourite to your least favourite.

Do as many series you like.




As the final season of Succession is beginning soon, I will make my first list about this series.
