I’m just here to gloat about the Christina Applegate, Natasha Lyonne, and Phoebe Waller-Bridge nominations.

The Emmys are really going to attenuate themselves by rewarding a historically dogged season of TV so much. If something like Better Call Saul could sneak out the win that would be awesome but we all know who is going to win everything in drama. Total bummer but at least it’s happening in a really crappy year for drama.

I got Drama Actor predicted 100% and I didn’t even like who I picked that much.

I tried to watch that Bodyguard show and it was pretty bad. I know this was a bad year for drama but being the 8th best series nomination is just weird.

You appear to have had a change of opinion since the first 15 minutes.

Agreed. She has a couple of very nice scenes and a somewhat heroic moment but you have to treat heroism as a spectrum and imagine the lowest end of heroism.

Wait until episode 4. Two serious contenders give their award worthy performances in that episode.

Yeah, I would say so. She could go either way but she has a pretty big arc in the movie.

Surprised nobody is talking about this. I feel like this movie over-delivered. Not just a good TV movie but a good movie period. Hoping Olyphant can break in with a nomination this year. He was terrific. Everyone was, really. But Timmy’s my guy.

What a devastating 6 hours of television. The last episode is probably the star of the 4 but they are all very good in their own way. I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s the best of the true crime genre. But it’s very good.

It sincerely bothers me that people didn’t just call people idiots back in 1989 but when I actually think about it’s not a…[Read more]

I did. It was a shell of it’s former self. There are some decent laughs and it’s nice being with the characters again but it suffers too much from being under its own shadow and it couldn’t ever quite out from under it so they just kind of gave into it and it comes off as pandering. Someone once said it was almost like Arrested Development…[Read more]

So, I was having trouble picking an episode because drama has really just been dogcrap this year. In the past, it’s usually comedy I have trouble picking things for but this year it has been drama. Then I saw as I was making my predictions in the prediction center that Sex Education was submitting drama. And that’s probably been my favorite…[Read more]

That sucks for SNL.

Kind of feel guilty for saying it because he seems like a good dude and people he works with seem to like him. But Keenan Thompson is a kind of a funny that doesn’t ever make me laugh. Passive amusement at best.

Bit nitpicky for my taste. I wasn’t hugely behind Gene’s catatonia either, though. I love the show and this season but the finale wasn’t without some flaws. I’m just not feeling particularly punitive about them. I enjoy this show too much right now to try to talk myself out of the show’s own flimsy logic.

They spent a few episodes flashing back him losing his shit in Afghanistan. So, he does have the blind rage seeing red foreshadowed. I didn’t necessarily love that but I didn’t hate it and it felt earned at least.

Are they submitting to comedy series this year?

“Free Churro” – Bojack Horseman

I assume they submit this episode to writing and they have submit to comedy writing in the past. Is there a list of what everyone has submitted somewhere? I couldn’t seem to find anything.

The only supporting actress in a comedy I believe has a better episode and performance than this episode for Sarah Goldberg is D’Arcy Carden and she has an episode where she plays every character in The Good Place.

American Vandal was the best show on TV two years running but it’s obvious it isn’t reaching a wider audience. I admittedly couldn’t get into the first time I tried to watch it 2 years ago. So, anything they get I will be happy. Kind of a bummer that there won’t be anything quite like it on TV anymore but at least they nailed the only two seasons.

There’s a pretty good Ken Burns documentary on Prime about this. I saw it before I knew about the show but I don’t know if people are trying to avoid being spoiled(seems odd you would since you should want to know how accurately the story is depicted). I’m curious to see how they fill some of the gaps. I’m curious how dramatized it is(The Act…[Read more]

lol… yeah. That is an absurd criticism.
