Better Call Saul and Westworld are great! never miss an episode look forward to them, well actually I binge them 4 eppies at a time ..
Now, this is good
”’Saturday Night Live that came away with 22 nominations (and tied with Westworld) for the most for this Emmy season.”
SNL has been stellar this past year!!! The players, none better.
And== This Is Us .. I never miss an episode, it is different and grabbing..((I watch 2-3 episodes on weekends, well on sundays ..
The This is Us noms are well deserved. It’s in many ways groundbreaking among the other crop of shows that are held in high esteem by Emmys. No one is doing what they do.
