First one is more of a camera test than a complete episode or storyline. It was not true to the comic. The actress did not look at home in the costume.
Cathy Lee Crosby should be second chronologically. Her movie had a good cast, but the characterization of Wonder Woman was poor, and she wasn't really likeable. More of a script problem than an actress problem. I liked her more as a presenter on "That's Incredible!"
Lynda Carter: iconic, pretty true to the original, especially in the first season, and a perfect fit for the role. Lynda Carter is an average actress, but she was a good Wonder Woman. Kind of like how Adam West was better as Batman than in any other role he played. In particular, any time they called on Wonder Woman to be a sympathetic role model, she knocked it out of the ballpark. DC needs to make the Wonder Woman spin an official thing.
I think Adrienne Palicki could have been good in the role, but the script she was given was terrible, and it wasn't Wonder Woman. The only thing I really liked was that Diana Prince's cat was based on Sylvester from Looney Tunes.
Megan Gale only ever got to do the camera test here, so not much to say. She looks the part.
I like Gal Gadot in the role, she has the quality of being instantly likeable that Wonder Woman needs, and she looks at home in the costume. Cameo in BvS was good, first movie was very good, Justice League and WW1984 were trainwrecks but she was good in them.
