The 2022 Emmy ballot for Best Comedy Directing lists 178 episodes, so there will be seven nominees. As a refresher, last year’s winner was “Hacks” (“There Is No Line” by Lucia Aniello) and the other nominees were “The Flight Attendant” (“In Case of Emergency” by Susanna Fogel), “B Positive” (“Pilot” by James Burrows) and “Mom” (“Scooby-Doo Checks and Salisbury Steak” by James Widdoes), plus “Ted Lasso” with three episodes.
With the exception of “Mom,” which ended last year, all of these series are back in the running. “Hacks” once again went with a solo submission (as it did with writing), with Aniello defending her title with the episode “There Will Be Blood.” After getting three slots last year, “Ted Lasso” takes its shot with four episode submissions, including nominees Lowney (“Inventing The Pyramid Of Success”) and Delaney (“No Weddings and a Funeral”), along with Erica Dunton (“Rainbow”) and Sam Jones (“Beard...

This The Great review contains no spoilers.
In The Great, Elle Fanning anchors a deceptively biting romp punctuated with the visceral realities of the 18th century Russian court of Peter III. With a passing resemblance to history, The Great tracks Catherine’s trajectory from a naive German princess obsessed with romance to a savvy woman managing affairs of state and plotting a coup against her husband. A wild ride through the romance, grit, and plotting it takes to become the storied Catherine the Great, Hulu’s new series is frothy fun with a deadly dark side.
Billed as “an occasionally true story,” The Great is history in the style of Apple TV+’s Dickinson, albeit without the needle drops. The asterisk on every title card allows The Great’s playful nature to apply to its take on the historic record as well as gender roles, dialogue, and probably the behavior of bears.

If last week’s episode of Briarpatch felt like a series of exposition dumps meant to lead Allegra from one point to the next, “The Most Sinful Mf-er Alive” certainly lives up to its punchy name and delivers an explosive outing that balances pure thrills and plot advancing reveals. When the lights go out in San Bonifacio, things really start to light up.
After a fun cold open that coasts on the simple charms of watching Alan Cumming intimidate teenagers, we pick things right back up where we left them; Allegra discovers that Lalo is helping migrant families in the abandoned brewery with Jake’s assistance. All that Jake asks in return for helping is that some of the adult men serve as his faux protection, so he can give the illusion that he’s ready for any battle that Clyde Brattle brings to his door.

Better Call Saul, Season 1, Episode 8: “Rico
Written by Gordon Smith
Directed by Colin Bucksey
Airs Mondays at 10Pm Est on AMC
After the events of last week’s morally challenging Better Call Saul, Saul/Jimmy is forced to climb back on the horse and deal with the fallout of his (expensive) decision to do the right thing.
This week begins with a very revealing flashback, one that finds Saul working as the mail boy, of all things, at the very law offices of Hamlin Hamlin McGill. For all its brevity and lack of dialogue, it is a very telling sequence, one that manages to convey Saul and Kim’s friendly affections, the beginnings of Saul’s hatred for Howard Hamlin, Saul’s complex relationship with his brother Chuck, and some of what occurred in between Saul’s time as “Slipping Jimmy” and his current rise as an attorney.

A review of tonight's "Better Call Saul" coming up just as soon as I use double ply... There is a truth inherent to the prequel business: you can't change or prevent what your audience knows is coming for these characters. Sometimes, prequels use this to their advantage, whether great ones (where the young Vito scenes in "Godfather Part II" only enhance our feelings for the Brando version of the character), or less-great ones (where whatever emotional power the "Star Wars" prequels have comes from the knowledge of what's going to become of Anakin). Sometimes, though, having to stick to pre-established facts about your characters' future can be a drag, as we're seeing a lot this season on "Gotham."(*) (*) Another good example of prequelitis: "Comanche Moon," the last "Lonesome Dove" novel to be published, but set before the events of the first, has our heroes chasing after a bad guy the...

Better Call Saul, Season 1, Episode 4: “Hero”
Written by Gennifer Hutchison
Directed by Colin Bucksey
Airs Mondays at 10Pm Est on AMC
It should be no surprise at this point that Better Call Saul is building a pretty impressive following from its AMC audience. The shows quality has been shining like a beacon from the opening moments of its very first episode. What is surprising, though, is how it continues to reveal so many layers to a character who, while always entertaining in his original iteration, never really seemed all that complex.
The first shocker comes in the follow-up to last week’s cliffhanger, in which Saul found the Kettlemans camped out in the desert a few miles from their home. With the cat out of the bag, a cat that happens to be made out of a whole lot of stolen money, Saul is faced with yet another moral crisis,...

A review of tonight's "Better Call Saul" coming up just as soon as I file this under Miscellaneous Expenses.. "You're the kind of lawyer guilty people hire." -Betsy Kettleman The flashback in the teaser to "Hero" reveals that Jimmy McGill was using Saul Goodman — as in, "S'all good, man" — as an alias even back in his Cicero grifter days. And the episode that follows shows him taking the first real steps towards becoming the Saul of the "Breaking Bad" era. For a couple of episodes, he's been doing his best to stay on the straight and narrow, whether working as many public defender cases as he can grab, or trying to warn the Kettlemans when he discovers that Nacho means them ill. And as Betsy tries to thrust a pile of embezzled cash into his arms, you can see that he really doesn't want to take it — and, even after she keeps trying,...

The Bridge Season 2, Episodes 9 & 10 “Rakshasa”/”Eidolon”
Written by Marisha Mukerjee/Patrick Somerville

Airs Wednesdays at 10pm Et on FX
For all the talk around the internet of how The Bridge solved “the David Tate” problem of season one by removing the whole Serial Killer with a Personal Vendetta crap from the proceedings, “Rakshasa” and “Eidolon” both prove – as the entire season has, really – that the show hasn’t really ‘solved’ this issue at all, even after killing off David Tate a few weeks ago. They’ve merely replaced it, morphing a scorned employee of a main character’s wife into a one-off villain whose personality and characteristics are as random as the motivations David Tate seemed to have throughout season one’s episodes. I’m obviously talking about Eleanor Nacht – and while the performance and dramatic storytelling around it continue to be entertaining, her...

Last night the 2014 Emmy Award winners were announced with "Breaking Bad" taking home top honors with five wings including Outstanding Drama Series, followed by "Modern Family" with three wins including Outstanding Comedy Series. FX programs "American Horror Story: Coven" and "Fargo" each took home two awards including an Outstanding Miniseries win for "Fargo". Meanwhile, new shows such as "Orange is the New Black" and "Silicon Valley" went home empty handed and for all the fanfare it received in its first season, including 12 Emmy nominations, "True Detective" only took home one win, that being for director Cary Joji Fukunaga". Personally, I don't give a lick about the Emmys, it's right there with the Grammys in terms of worthless awards shows for me. It's a show wherein people must nominate themselves and while most award shows are no better, this one is down there near the bottom for me. So, with that said,...

Breaking Bad’s amazing final season always meant that it was a likely winner come awards season. However, the debut of the critically acclaimed True Detective earlier this year did leave many wondering whether it might rob the end to Walter White’s story of one final sweep of prizes at last night’s Emmy Awards.
As it turns out, Breaking Bad would end up being rewarded for those amazing final episodes, though True Detective did earn a very well deserved award for director Cary Joji Fukunaga (who helmed all eight instalments).
The UK was represented by Sherlock, and that too did exceptionally well, walking away with Emmys for Benedict Cumberbatch, Martin Freeman and writer Steven Moffat. Looking at the results, it’s hard to imagine anyone being too upset with the results, though many Game of Thrones fans won’t be happy to see that it was again snubbed.

The Emmys honor the best performances on television, but the telecast is all about celebrating the best speeches. Here’s how we called it:
1. Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston, Lead Actor in a Drama Series: It was Cranston’s night. He had the perfect amount of humility (“Even I thought about voting for Matthew”), humor (“I love you, especially those scenes in bed,” he told Anna Gunn) and inspiration (find your passion, Sneaky Petes).
2. Veep’s Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Lead Actress in a Comedy: Leave it to Louis-Dreyfus, who took home her third consecutive Emmy for Veep, to keep things fresh.

The 66th Annual Emmy Awards have come and gone; the big winners include greats like Breaking Bad, which won outstanding drama, best actor (Bryan Cranston), best supporting actor (Aaron Paul) and best actress (Anna Gunn). Not too bad for one last victory lap. Matthew McConaughey didn’t pick up a win for True Detective, but he’s had a great year regardless having already picked up an Oscar; he will sleep well.

Never again, TV Academy. Never again. I don't care if NBC has to do the Emmys in August because of football and if NBC is scared of going head-to-head with a competing award show. Doing the Emmys on Monday is just wrong. But we shall trudge on! Seth Meyers is hosting. Some fantastic TV shows and actors are nominated. Follow along. Comment below. Join the fun. Make the fun. 8:00 p.m. Et. That was some of the worst Red Carpet pre-show I've ever watched between E! and NBC. I never thought I'd miss Ryan Seacrest, but there ya go! 8:00 p.m. Seth Meyers was just outside being interviewed by Billy Bush just two minutes ago. How will he make it inside?

The Bridge Season 2, Episode 4 “The Acorn”
Written by Patrick Somerville
Directed by Colin Bucksey
Airs Wednesdays at 10pm Et on FX
After spreading things out for three hours, “The Acorn” is the first episode of The Bridge’s season that begins to condense its story, connecting dots between Galvan, Eleanor, Marco, and everyone in between. For the first time, it feels like The Bridge has one large snowball rolling down hill gaining steam, not a dozen tiny ones bouncing around aimlessly without direction or momentum. I wouldn’t say it has completely solved it’s identity crisis just yet: but with a few brief, wildly effective scenes, “The Acorn” begins arranging the violent, allusion-heavy pieces on the table, and begins assembling its grand story for the season.
The best of these scenes come from those with the least “surprise” factor attached – both Marco and Charlotte enjoy wonderful little character arcs this episode,...

FX has announced renewals for the Emmy nominated Louie and Fargo, now how’s that for awesome? Louie will return next spring with an order for seven episodes and Fargo will return for a 10-episode second season with an all-new cast, a different time period, and a new “true crime” story. Both a critical and commercial success, Fargo quickly became one of my favorite TV shows of the year and a new season with a new story sounds perfect. Noah Hawley will return to produce and write the new season.

Fargo, the TV miniseries adaptation of the 1996 feature film that made its debut on FX this year, will get a sophomore season.
'Fargo' Gets Second Season
It was announced at the Television Critics Association Monday that Noah Hawley’s Fargo miniseries would have a second season, reported Deadline. Based off of Joel and Ethan Coen’s movie, which won a best writing Oscar, the TV show’s first season closely followed the plot that featured a pregnant police chief investigating a hapless man who works with career criminals to hide his own bungled crimes.
For Fargo’s second season, Hawley will be taking the story in a completely new direction. There will be an entirely new cast of characters to play out the new “true crime” story in a new time period, according to FX.
“We could not be more proud of Fargo,” said FX Networks CEO John Landgraf.

Do you remember how last season’s Girls run ended? Well this season things culminated in an entirely different tone. This time, there were no grand gestures or fireworks. Season three isn’t quite as dark as season two, but man is the finale rough. If the season two finale frustrated fans because it suggested that Hannah might be too dependent on the man in her life, the season three finale seems intent on underlining that Hannah’s ready to move on, with or without Adam. And she isn’t the only one moving on, but she seems to be the only one moving in the right direction: Hannah gets into the country’s best grad school, Adam gives a truly “bad” performance in his Broadway debut, Marnie finds herself in another destructive relationship, Shosh...

Until about 10 minutes ago, there has been so much conflicting information, if not outright misinformation, about what exactly "Better Call Saul" will be: A straight "Breaking Bad" prequel? A time-bending journey that includes adventures during the reign of Heisenberg? A comedy? A drama with occasional laughs? Huell's story? AMC's press release about the full cast and basic premise and setting fill in some of the details — including that it begins six years before Saul (then known as Jimmy McGill) meets Walter White — and now co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould will hopefully bring more of the show (not due to premiere until early 2015) into sharper clarity, without actually giving too much of the fun away. I'll be live-blogging all of Gilligan's charming Virginian self-deprecation, all of Gould's jokes, and whatever nuggets we actually get about the new show.

The producers of Better Call Saul are answering some questions about the hotly anticipated Breaking Bad spin-off prequel, and AMC is releasing some new photos. Writer-producers Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould took questions from reporters at the Television Critics Association’s press tour in Beverly Hills on Friday. Here’s what we learned:
1. The series regulars and their confirmed character names joining star Bob Odenkirk: Jonathan Banks (Breaking Bad) as “fixer” Mike Erhmantraut, Michael McKean (This is Spinal Tap) as Chuck, Rhea Seehorn (Franklin & Bash) as Kim, Patrick Fabian (Grey’s Anatomy) as Hamlin and Michael Mando (Orphan Black) as Nacho.

The 2014 Emmy Award nominations were announced today and led by HBO's "Game of Thrones" with 19 total nominations. New show "Fargo" scored 18, followed by "American Horror Story", "Breaking Bad", The Normal Heart and not too far down the line "True Detective" with 12. The one show I love and continue to watch, "Hannibal" received zero nominations, but then again, I have never paid too much attention to the Emmys, primarily because people have to nominate themselves, something I've never understood.

Review
This review contains spoilers
1.6 Buridan's Ass
It’s a mark of Fargo’s quirkiness that this, by far the darkest, blackest episode of the series so far, was presented against a background of blinding whiteness. If we’re looking for a more conventional metaphor, then the bleakness of the snowstorm and its capacity for confusion, were perfectly pitched, the latter especially. Confusion fell so hard from the sky that it was tempting to imagine that the vengeful and capricious God of Stavros Milos’ imagination was actually up there pulling His divine strings. Whatever its origin, the outcome was far from pretty and while several characters took advantage of the opportunities presented by the confusion, none were without victims.
The exploitation of Don Chumph took a profoundly unpleasant turn and, although it was perhaps the most...

In many ways, I liked this week’s episode of Fargo, titled “Buriden’s Ass,” as much as I disliked last week’s (both of them were directed by Colin Bucksey). It wasn’t perfect, but it had a good deal of action and racked up a serious body count. Not that deaths make a good show, but it was enough that stuff was happening. And much of that stuff led to conclusions for certain characters and questions for and about others, questions that are intriguing rather than frustrating. Some characters make really dumb choices, as is expected in this series, but interestingly Lester (Martin Freeman) was not one of them this time. He finally made decisions that indicate he could just make it through the finale alive, after all. There are two moments in the episode where characters are shown to be really thinking about what to do next. For...

Fargo Season 1, Episode 6 “Buridan’s Ass”
Written by Noah Hawley
Directed by Colin Bucksey
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm Et on FX
To understand how Fargo is interpreting its titular philosophic quandary, there’s no farther one needs to look than the opening two scenes. In the episode’s open, we watch a fish get chosen, gutted, fried, and served to the assumed head of the crime syndicate who previously employed Sam Hess. He then tells his associates that he wants whoever killed Hess to be “dead” (not apprehended; that’s just not good enough here), because, well, “kill or be killed.” And as he chows down on the fish’s head, we suddenly cut to Don, trapped in his pantry waiting for Malvo to return – like the other fish in the tank at the episode’s open, Don is lying static in the water, just waiting for a predator to...

A review of tonight's "Fargo" coming up just as soon as God tells me not to park here... "Fargo" the movie is often held up as the best thing the Coen brothers have ever done, and certainly the best balance of their silly "Lebowski"/"Ladykillers"/"Burn After Reading" side and their much darker "Blood Simple"/"No Country For Old Men" side. With "Fargo" the series, Noah Hawley and his various directors (here, Colin Bucksey doing outstanding work) have worked very hard to maintain that balance, though as a 10-part weekly TV show, they get to lean on different ends of the tonal spectrum in any given week. "Buridan's Ass" is fascinating in that respect, in that emotionally, it's by far the darkest episode yet — with the violent deaths of Don, Mr. Numbers, Semenko and Dmitri Milos, and the possible death of Molly — yet so much of that darkness takes place...

Fargo Season 1, Episode 5 “The Six Ungraspables”
Written by Noah Hawley
Directed by Colin Bucksey
Airs Tuesdays at 10pm Et on FX
Like many of the episodes preceding it, “The Six Ungraspables” is titled after a Buddhist koan, this one written by the great Zen master Yunmen Wenyan. At their heart, koans are a series of questions that test a Buddhist’s students progress, philosophic puzzles that allow us to work towards the ultimate goals of Buddhism: enlightenment and nirvana.

FX's "Fargo" was conceived as something of a ten-episode "movie" more than a standard television series. In this sense it shares something of a kinship with HBO's recently completed first season of "True Detective". And, like "True Detective", which is already developing a second season, the intent with "Fargo" is to feature one true crime story each season and, as writer/creator Nick Hawley said, "After a season or two of the show, people who see the movie might say that was a great episode of Fargo. Each season is a separate true crime story from that region. The movie now fits into the series as another true crime story from the region." The movie Hawley is referring to, of course, is Joel and Ethan Coen's 1996 Best Picture nominee of the same name.
