The Emmys
In years past, known for our awards night parties and feasts, we ate on TV trays and watched a paired down show with a paired down menu on paper plates this year. Very 2020.
We posted our (partial) ballots last week, and we did pretty well! We were surprised that it was the lowest-rated Emmy's ever. Do people have something better to do?? None the less, we thought it was fun and funny.
Schitt's Creek swept the comedy category, winning the first 7 awards in a row. Congrats to Dan Levy and everyone at Schitt's Creek and to Travis, who called it!
Ratched
About 1 AM on Thursday night, we realized that Netflix had probably dropped the whole first season of Ryan Murphy's origin story, Ratched. We were finished by Saturday. As regular listeners know by now, we love Ryan Murphy.
Murphy takes on the iconic character from the Ken Kesey novel and Milos Forman film of the same name, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, Nurse Ratched. If you like Murphy's other shows, especially AHS Asylum and Hollywood, you'll want to check out Ratched.
Criminal
Netflix dropped Season 2 of Criminal U.K.The unfortunate folks being interrogated this time around are Sophie Okonedo (Ratched,) Kit Harington in his first TV role since Game of Thrones, Sharon Horgan (Catastrophe), and Kunal Nayyar (Big Bang Theory.)
Correction:
You'll notice when you listen, Elaine, still dizzy with Murphy boy confusion, will tell ya that Sharon Horgan starred in Episodes. But of course, she meant to say Catastrophe with the amazingly talented and funny Rob Delaney. She is not Tamsin Greig!
