  1. The Golden Globes has had quite a revival in Hollywood after being apparently dead only a few years ago.It wasn’t that long ago no network would even televise the event.They’ve done a good job of reinventing themselves it seems,

        Ned Flanders sons Rod and Todd are afraid of moths and ladybugs according to The Simpsons season 8 episode My Sitter My Sister.

  2. I respect that everyone has their own tastes in television, but for me the over hype of Shogun is unbelievable.But Shogun has beautiful cinematography I will give it that. Baby Reindeer I thought it was overdone melodrama and over acting. The worst culprit over the last few years has to be The Bear, I think everyone in their right mind knows it is not a comedy and if it was in the drama categories wouldn’t even win a chicken raffle. On a positive note, I enjoyed True Detective and The Penguin. I was hoping Billy Bob would win for Landman, that show is a cracker.

    1. I agree with everything you said. Shogun is very overrated… winning the acting categories was a bit over the top too… but each to their own. I did seem to like Baby Reindeer more than you though. Just a side note about Landman, I too agree that Thornton is superb, but that show is being badly dragged down by the wife and daughter… the amount of time we waste with those two each episode is staggering.
