She earned critical acclaim for her portrayal of Sofia Falcone in the HBO crime drama series The Penguin (2024) for which she earned the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie. She took roles in two connected episodes of Netflix’s hit series Black Mirror (2017, 2025), the Fox sitcom The Mindy Project (2015–2016), the second season of the FX anthology crime series Fargo (2015), the HBO Max comedy series Made for Love (2021–2022), and the Peacock comedy mystery series The Resort (2022).

The latter earned her a Critics' Choice Television Award and a Primetime Emmy Award, along with a nomination for a Golden Globe Award.
