'Succession,' 'The Bear' win big at TV's Emmy awards

Nothing for Better Call Saul. Kind of a joke contest.

BCS arguably surpassed Breaking Bad, which itself was one of the best ever if not the best.

I can't 'bear' to see the 'succession' of snubs that BCS received over the years, and I will always have a 'beef' with the Emmy awards because of that.

I’m with Paul.

I’ve tried to get into Succession several times, and while I admit that the writing is good and the actors are great, I can never escape the feeling of “You are all HORRIBLE people.”

Probably has something to do with it being a spin-off, which by definition means unoriginal. Bob Odenkirk is fantastic in everything he does (even his appearance in Seinfeld way back when!), so maybe best actor, but that's all. It's not bad, but it automatically loses nearly all points for being a spin-off. I'm not saying the original shows are automatically better, but shows that are especially spin-off PREQUELS go nowhere. Period. What's next, a Titanic spinoff from someone who just can't let the movie go? We know the boat sinks, just as we know what happens to the characters in BCS. Let it stay sunk.

The Bear is fantastic, although as great as Jamie Lee Curtis' performance was in playing a very mentally unstable person, there was FAR too much emphasis on the issue to push the main story further. Fourth wall got broken too many times. Hopefully season three tones that element down a bit.

Honestly who watch boring TV anymore?

These shows may currently be popular, but they are not as good as "Gilligan's Island". Still in reruns for 50 years. Now, there was a show!
