Four scenes. Two I am genuinely proud of, one is fine, one is from my first ever job and I am attached to it for sentimental reasons.
Feedback Wanted
Reel is 3 minutes 40 and I know that is too long. Help me cut it.

The sentimental one goes. You already knew that or you would not have mentioned it.

Two scenes, ninety seconds, done. The "fine" one is doing you active harm by sitting next to the good ones.

A reel is not a career summary. It is evidence that you can do a thing. Two pieces of evidence is plenty.

Lead with whichever one shows you listening rather than talking. That is the thing that reads as actorly ability on a small screen.

Editor: I would bet the version you end up with is one scene and about fifty seconds, and it will get you more than the current cut.
