The woeful Season 8 of Games of Thrones was crowned as the Best Drama in all of television for the TV Season of 2018/2019.

Just let that sink in.

So the show is now a binge, but what was their previous plan? Weekly release?

Wow, I’m not sure I’ve seen an episode written as bad as this season finale was in a long time.
Most of the lines sounded so ludicrous that I was feeling for the actors, having to be serious with that material.
Ed Harris is a pro’s pro so he does his job, but please free him from this shit show, I can’t bear watching him stand himself so low.

This season was never great (whereas Season 2 had some very good highs and Season 1 was mostly highs) but these last 2 episodes were a real slap in the face.
I really can’t imagine the show getting any traction at the Emmys at this point.
Then again we live in a world where Game of Thrones Season 8, one of the worst final seasons of all time, was considered the best drama series of an entire season, so what do I know.

If the zeitgest reaction of the critics is of any indication, Better Call Saul is winning Drama here.

Tony Dalton deserved to be the second nominee in Supporting Actor more than Esposito this year.

Gilligan said in a interview that he hopes that Season 6 will be released in the Fall 2021.

Yeah, Fall 2021 is the best case scenario and it has been since they renewed the show (they’re breaking the Season now and the plan was to start production this fall).
Hopefully is also what happens, but with Corona and the shutdowns, there’s really no way to know at this point.

Mrs. America has a killer opening.

Is it FINALLY time for Vince to win a well deserved Emmy for Directing?

This could be a strong writing contender, besides the finale.

Tea leaves seem to point toward episode 5.08 as another strong contender.

Mrs America, The Undoing and Hollywood are probably the surest bets of the bunch. The others have all weaknesses that could prevent them from getting awards buzz.
Devs already seems like it’s not getting a lot of buzz with critics and thus losing what might have been its biggest advantage (since genre won’t be and network either with resources probably invested in Mrs America).

Makes no sense. Why can’t FX air it then?

Because Disney is trying to push the whole FX on Hulu thing. Same thing happening with Devs a week from now.
The show was supposed to be on FX, then the merger happened.

Those were some terrible episodes.

Welp, that’s some terrible and inarticulate take.

I really hope the no screener stuff has nothing to do with the quality of the show. Emily is right when saying that most times networks hide their screeners because they don’t want bad press, but Netflix has been doing things differently for a while now, so hopefully it has nothing to do with that.

Six Feet Under, The Shield and Breaking Bad are at the top of my list. Also Justified, The Wire and Friday Night Lights had great endings.

How many episodes they ordered? The usual 10 or they went with less?
