Nothing on True Detective S2? Third episode, slow as slow, just a filler. Liked the first for character development, 2nd for .......... And 3rd as I said just a bit of a filler

Seen some rather derogatory comments about it on FB...and less than ideal reviews

 Worst episode so far. Almost comically bad. I liked how the first two were building with the interplay between dodgy cop, PTSD cop and daddy issues cop* and the little tidbits.
 
*Nice description I read elsewhere.
 
Hannibal S3 is on now. Apparently there definitely won't be a fourth. :(
 
Ray Donovan S3 has started too. Late to this so I'm catching up.
 
Also started watching Penny Dreadful which is better than I thought it would be.

Bit of an acquired taste I think that series, I have just finished the latest season, went a bit darker and more supernatural.
 
Finished Orphan Black, still enjoying it although think it is on the slide, unsure how long they can keep it up, then theres chucking new versions of the clones when they need to as well.

I watched ep1 of Wolf Hall, boring as fuck, guess it got better...

Crucial

These awards are more a popularity contest than a reflection of actual performances. I have seen plenty of brilliant performances go unrecognised, standard ones get awarded because of the popularity of the show, and other awards bestowed years after the best work that got them attention in the first place.
Take Tatiana Maslany as an example. This season wasn't her best (or maybe we are getting too used to her skill), yet she gets a lead nomination after being badly overlooked in the last two years.
There are shows there way past their prime like Homeland and Downton, but they have big fan bases or recognisable stars that will add to the event.
Among it all is actually the odd few good rewards for good work, like Bob Odenkirk or Taraji P. Henson. But Emilia Clarke?

Well Tatiana does play half the cast

Overall that is a decent list of TV shows but I don't know how Rectify misses out completely.

The Lego Movie not getting a nomination for Best Animated Movie tells everything you need to know about Awards. 
 
They can't be taken seriously.

I like Rectify but I'm not sure I'd put it on the top 5 and I can clearly see why the voters wouldn't select it. They'd get one or two episodes to watch to make a decision and that show would make little sense that way.

Crucial

The one I think should be there but isn't, is The Americans.
 
Both Leads, Supporting Actor and best Drama would be worthy nominees.
 
A totally ignored show for some baffling reason.
 
..and if there was a category for Best Naked View from Behind, Keri Russell would be a shoe-in.

Agree 100%. I think Rhys should a.) be nominated and b.) win.
 
In the comedy section Brooklyn Nine Nine should be there but the Emmy's seem to have gone edgy in comedy and it would appear to be too broad. Funny as fudge though.

TJ Miller for best supporting actor in a comedy series!

TJ Miller would win 'best supporting actor for helping me struggle to watch a series as I find him annoying'. He can collect his statue at any time.

There is only one outcome I want in this show.
 
Someone to shoot that miserable bitch of a bar singer right between the eyes to shut her up.

Enjoyed the first episode. It has potential.

Might just be the best show on TV right now.
