Finally got round to finishing this season. Rather bizarrely, considering the time it took for me to complete it, I found this season to be a marginal improvement over the first (even if it never hit the highs of Love is the Message). The first 6 episodes followed basically the exact same quality, with two standout episodes in the premiere and…[Read more]

Great episode. Aniston and Mbatha-Raw are just so good.

Did I say I was surprised?

Given SAG’s history of votesplitting, is Drama Actress between Aniston and Comer?

The Kominsky Method is the new Grace and Frankie isn’t it?

Smith’s snub officially ends my interest in the film half of this awards season

This is my mood! Otherwise everything is too bizarre to process

Finally finished. Overall, as critical as I have felt at times, this was still an excellent season even if it lacked the consistency of the previous two. Television of the highest quality often still prevailed, especially in “Bubbikins”, “Tywysog Cymru”, “Moondust” and “Cri de Coeur”, but equally this season featured the three weakest episodes of…[Read more]

I’m glad lots of people are replying to me though – it’s good to see who are the folks who would not see that the emperor was naked.

Love her performance. She was definitely win worthy. BUT she wasn’t the most win worthy. Portman and Blunt were robbed unnecessarily.

GUGU MBATHA-RAW. So good and so great to see why she actually signed onto this show. Great episode as well – felt crucial to finally see Alex and Mitch’s work dynamic. Is it weird that I didn’t miss Witherspoon at all?

Agree!

If viewed in a vacuum, yes. But given that we all know when the Andrea Arnold/Jean Marc Vallee stuff broke it doesn’t take much to suggest that the last two episodes were reviewed weaker for reasons other than the actual quality.

Thank you for highlighting though because if anything it shows that the season had 3 outstanding episodes, 2 great…[Read more]

All I want is just one awards season where Regina King isn’t championed for a performance that wouldn’t even be on the radar if it was given by anyone else but because it’s her is heralded as some kind of nuanced masterwork
