Very glad she’s getting her flowers finally. She was half of what made Better Call Saul great and she got zero award recognition for it. Gilligan knew it and doubled down on her.

Well no, she got a healthy fan base and a big paycheck from Better Call Saul, and hundreds of job offers.

These stupid awards are not important.

In some regards you're right, in matters of paychecks though, being a emmy/golden globe/oscar winner deffo helps, as they can and will advertise with it.

They might not be important to you, but they are important to a lot of people, first and foremost to the recipients they honor.

My parents both have an Emmy.

Mom can't find work in the industry anymore, she got cut by execs that want to go all in on AI. I think my dad keeps his in the bathroom. Both of them would rather have gotten better pay or a bonus than the statuette.

I think you've gotta be really vain to care that much about the award.

[–] artyom@piefed.social 5 points 2 weeks ago

Oh well if it didn't work out for your parents, that must mean noone cares.

The problem this show will have is the same problem all Apple+ shows have. We'll have to wait multiple years for season 2 and we'll have forgotten what happened in season 1 or just forget about the show entirely.

Ya, I hate this, but I am not sure if it's just me getting older or just training, but I just watch what I watch and if it stops/never comes back oh well.

There are a few shows I'm still disappointed they ended early, but either TV just isn't as good now, I just don't care as much or maybe a bit of both...

[–] Prove_your_argument@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

It could be worse, they could cancel most of their shit after season 1 or 2 like everybody else.

Does suck waiting years for subsequent series. I wish we could get some production quality drops in exchange for more focus on story, dialog and acting.

[–] Ronan@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

Is that a problem though? The problem for me would be lackluster content and pushing out dozens terrible shows that producers do manage to push out on a yearly schedule. I much rather wait longer, for a better show. I actually believe it's an ad for a show if it has multiple years between seasons. It shows me, as a potential viewer, that the show prioritizes quality over quantity and that the IP is strong enough that the company producing the show is willing to invest in it that many years later.

I rewatched Season 1 of Severance in the runup to Season 2.

If a show is strong, a rewatch enhances the experience. You notice details you might have missed.

I mean, how many people here post about how many times they've seen LOTR?

Slow Horses doesn’t exist?

Pffffttttt!!! You have it easy!!! I've been waiting nearly a quarter century for season two of the best big damn heroes show ever made. No end for the wait in sight, I'm afraid.

[–] RickyRigatoni@retrolemmy.com 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Teen titans had 5 seasons

Four of which had them fighting over the last slice of pizza (yeah, I know that was GO!).

However, I was referring to Firefly.

I heard her awhile back on some podcast talking about making her own furniture and she builds it to be easily portable, so she can get the fuck out, if she wants, not a quote

[–] RedSnt@feddit.dk 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Like a prepper or because she moves around a lot? From an interview I saw it seems like when she grew up she'd always be moving around with her parents, so maybe that has stuck with her in some way.

[–] unemployedclaquer@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

She might also be a prepper, don't remember, but it sounded like she liked the convenience and doing it with her own style

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Yay! Happy for mommy 😁

[–] roserose56@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I watched these short trailers, and I didn't even bother to see an actual trailer.
I might check it.

[–] DagwoodIII@piefed.social 6 points 2 weeks ago

I feel like I could give away all the spoilers and you'd still enjoy the show.

I love when a show depends on acting to tell a science fiction story, rather than big effects.

[examples include 'The Prisoner' 'Severance' and most of Star Trek TOS.
