Truly incredible BCS never won. Jennifer Coolidge over Rhea Seahorn is asinine.
Also, BCS > Succession

It’s a shame. But I haven’t seen succession or the bear. I guess I need to fix that.
Haven't watched Succession, but The Bear is really good. Def worth the watch. Great cast all around, wish Bernthal had a bigger role, but the cousin is awesome. So easy to wanna punch.
I liked Succession alot.. great show. But BCS was a frickin masterpiece
Not sure why I'm taking the bait but the finale has a 9.8 rating with 55k votes on imdb.
I’m glad they had the cast of It’s Always Sunny on to ridicule them for never nominating the show for anything in a dozen plus seasons.
The establishment at those award shows will always ensure that a show like BCS doesn't get awarded like it should. Rigged system!
Absolutely agree, even though I was kinda meh about the ending. I do think it was the right ending for the show. It just didn't stick with me like Breaking Bad did (and maybe that's not meant to be a bad thing).
Just finished the first season of the Bear. I get the awards now. Fantastic.
The Bear is really good and Succession is on our list.
The Bear is absolutely incredible. We discovered it the first week Season 1 dropped so it was fun to see the rest of world catch on after Season 2 dropped, which managed the feat of amazingly being better than Season 1.
Love Succession as well. And BCS.
It might be me but I really thought Season 3 of Ted Lasso was meh. It lost its charm for me-too serious and episodes too long and ending underwhelming. I did not like the close of story arc because I just did not like his decision.

I think it was still above average but far below first two seasons.
Far too much Keeley for me.
Explained, starting with post 17 in the below thread.
Is Bob Odenkirk the most underated actor today
Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, Lucky Hank///

The Bear won as a comedy?! It has funny moments but it definitely was not a comedy.
That’s kind of what I thought too. I didn’t watch it but my wife did and I saw 5 minutes here and there. Didn’t come across as a comedy to me.
BCS > Every TV show ever
I really think that...I think it might be the legitimately best TV show of all time.
Oh man yeah stay with it then.
The show is an amazing exercise in tension. Its really great and unique.
I was just never a big fan. The central idea is truly a great bit, and that is enough to carry it through for a while. Even by the end of the first season the bit was starting to creak under the weight for me, and I just didn't care about any of the characters enough to follow it into a drama. Other people seem to have taken to the characters more, but they didn't connect for me.
I thought season 1 of Ted Lasso was meh by the end of it. It started off as kind of a novelty and then nothing dramatic happened. Like they set up and then just killed the Major League plotline with the owner in like 2 episodes. Everyone that was supposed to be an antagonist just joins the group of really good friends actively engaged in therapy with Coach Lasso. Everything bad is kind of brushed over with like immediate personal growth. Kinda weirded me out by the end of season 1.
I'm rethinking this post. We're on Ep 7 and I was really expecting this show to take off and soar based on reviews, but it's just not really going anywhere. It's not like I can't wait to see what happens next. If I didn't finish, I'm okay with that and that's not a sign of an AMAZING show.
Again, it's a good show and some of the dialog is noticeably well written, but I'm not really "sucked in"..
Hold tight....the cousin's character arc in season 2 is really good.
And season 2 of The Bear......man, I got to say the Christmas episode may be one of the best television episodes ever....no hyperbole. Was just uncomfortable to watch, but in a good way. I thought it was amazing.
I don't think this is a spoiler, but I really liked how Season 2 had almost like an anthology feel to it with each of the early episodes focusing on a different character basically.
***and to bring this thread and post full circle.....we know who makes a guest appearance in the Christmas episode and of course he's great:
Bob Odenkirk

I think the production companies get to submit what genre they are nominated for.
Like a while back when Get Out was nominated for a Golden Globe under comedy.
Season 2 is way better bc they deep dive and develop the characters more. Season 1 is like.. damn these guys have problems. Season 2 is like.. no wonder these guys have so many problems.
i thoroughly enjoyed Richies story arc through the 2 seasons
Maybe it's the marketing, but Succession does not interest me at all. I hear its great, but man, corporate bullshit looks so boring.
They do a really good job at making you hate Richie to making you root for Richie.
I think there were 4-5 great episodes in season 3, the other episodes were pretty “meh”. Overall an Ok season. Disappointing compared to the previous 2, especially considering how long it took for season 3 to be released
The episode in S2 focused on Richie is one of the best episodes of TV in 2023.
