    I have to say, I'm surprised and happy that so many of the cast in Succession got nominations. The acting was phenomenal in the last season.

    On the flip-side, I didn't really find White Lotus that compelling. I'd be happy to hear someone who liked the show help shed some light.

      I watched a few minutes of the first episode and all the characters were annoying me so I turned it off.

        I think finding the characters intolerable in 'The White Lotus' was kind of the point. I enjoyed the show well enough, but it pales in comparison (no pun intended) to Succession. I can't recommend Succession enough. It's probably the best show I have seen in a long time.

    I don't know how or who decides what TV show gets to be put in their respective categories, but it's hilarious that Barry and its cast are nominated in comedy categories after having one hell of a dark season. It'd be more understandable if ıt was conceived as a comedy heavy show from its inception, but it's always been a drama first, comedy second type show.

    Another surprise for me was seeing The White Lotus in the Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series category. Not that I don't think it doesn't belong in there, it was a fantastic show and I love Mike White (watch Enlightened, please!), but it was almost exactly a year ago.

      The eligibility calendar for the Emmy’s goes from June to May. The actually Emmy’s happen in September, so that’s why it feels like a really long wait.

      Also if you like Mike White I highly suggest watching Brad’s Status.

        Ah, so they caught it right at the beginning of this year's calendar. I wonder how that will affect their chances. I'll check Brad's Status out, looks interesting. Thank you for the info and the...

          I’d say it’s like number 2 in line to win. Dopesick is probably going to win but White Lotus has a good chance. Jennifer Coolidge is the front-runner for Supporting Actress in a Limited Series.

            Happy to hear Jennifer Coolidge is the front runner for the award. She was brilliant in The White Lotus.

              Dopesick is really great. Its a heavy series, but worth it.

                Good to hear! If all goes well, I'm planning on watching it next week. When I do, I'll be sure to say something about it in the weekly TV thread.
