And with “Watchmen” making the New Program lineup even though it is a miniseries…

Either way, thrilled for that nomination and “Watchmen,” “Succession” and “Unbelievable” getting massive love. The series call outs for “Insecure” and “What We Do In The Shadows” is also fantastic.

I hadn’t really checked on this thread through the past few months, but it is great reading through what everyone has been catching up on while they’re in the pandemic and seeing what classic shows people are watching for the first time and what current stuff they’re catching up with. Back in March when we first started quarantining, I rewatched a…[Read more]

If you can’t disagree with someone’s opinion on this website without flying off the handle, maybe this website isn’t for you. Maybe the Internet isn’t for you. Take a walk.

Also, arguing that comedy isn’t weak this season on the basis of a single episode that aired in January 2017 is…a choice!

I’ll be honest, this season was good but nowhere near the level of the first two seasons. However, they laid a lot of seeds for future seasons, which the first two seasons never really tried to do in such a concrete manner. They really didn’t hold back on making most of these characters loathsome, and I especially turned on Dory this season. The…[Read more]

Fair enough, I was just posting on the fly and didn’t stop to consider how many nominees the category had in the past couple of years. So I’ll amend it to say that Carden was probably on the cusp on getting nominated in the past and, as pointed out, the lack of competition from shows/actresses who populated the category during those other yea…[Read more]

With the lead acting races down to five nominees, I dropped Kaitlyn Dever and Chris Evans. Dever should be making it in over Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington, but I can’t see only one of them making it, and someone made that argument about the two of them and Merritt Wever being on the same ballot page and unfortunately my stupid brain can’t…[Read more]

Michaela Coel is next level in this. Fascinated by the way the show deftly navigates huge laughs one minute and devastating silence the next. Looking forward to seeing how this story evolves and how the supporting characters fold into the action. Episode three did a great job of expanding on Terry, so hopefully we get the same for others in…[Read more]

I love when I finally find a reason to block somebody on this forum.

This was a massive step up over season one and I’d venture to guess that having Judith Light and Bette Midler at the forefront of the season is the definitive reason why. They were easily the MVPs of the season. I think I preferred Light because she was able to showcase a bit more of her range, whereas Midler was more often relied upon to bring…[Read more]

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaah, I don’t know about this one. This was really messy. The script was telling an interesting enough story in the first hour and then things start to take a turn that I never really got on board with, and my perception of what I thought this movie was going to be was completely derailed. While it was an entertaining enough concept to…[Read more]

I put “This Is Us” in my eighth slot, and in all reality, it is probably higher than #8. Maybe I let my own personal feelings about the season cloud my judgment, or I went with the shiny new thing (“The Morning Show”) for my #7 slot, but that is moot now. Honestly, “BLL” might be in the eighth slot (or entirely). I still don’t see “Killing Eve,…[Read more]

The thought of them wasting the final slot on one of “Modern Family,” “Space Force,” “Silicon Valley,” “The Kominsky Method” or “Black-ish” fills me with dread. Maybe wishful thinking, but I put “Insecure” in my eighth slot, and with “Better Things” and “Ramy” above it in my predictions, I’m aware that is a bold stance to take auteur-driven show…[Read more]

See, I think that makes sense. Having the submissions rule for 4-5 nominees make an impact with the program categories, but don’t take away acting nominations. Just have the same rules in tact for additional nominees 7 & 8. It makes no sense to now have less limited acting lead nominees, and I hope the TV Academy knows that. The wording is f…[Read more]

Let’s gooooooooooo.

This trailer still isn’t out. I’m not convinced Netflix isn’t going to shift the release date, especially given how Hulu moved some scheduled premieres for June 19th out of respect for Juneteenth. However, if it still comes out on Friday and they’re putting such little marketing muscle into this season, I can’t imagine they’re really going to pu…[Read more]

I can’t believe we still have more than a month of the same arguments to go before nominations.

The finale was the perfect culmination of the show thus far with an impressive visual style that made this episode feel like a real turning point for the series. This ensemble is so fucking good, but it is hard to pick out a favorite cast member. How are they submitted at the Emmys? They all feel like supporting, but I feel like I could see an…[Read more]

People keep saying “The Politican” season two buzz (if it is actually good, which TBD) could help boost its season one Emmys chances, but the season premieres in literally ten days and we haven’t even got a trailer.
