They always have a little something that looks compelling for a bit, but it’s never sustainable. It’s always back to repetitive Liam/Hope stuff. But, hey, people can always dip in and out without missing much, so maybe it works, especially in this era.

So unprofessional. If he were above playing soap material, he wouldn’t be on a soap. Billy Flynn’s smirking, for better or worse, at least seems like a deliberate acting choice (Chad is supposed to be smug) instead of a lack of engagement.

Looks like “The Box” is becoming the new “Old Town Road.”

I was thrilled that Antonio Banderas’s performance in Pain and Glory received this platform. He was really wonderful.

I wasn’t impressed with Marriage Story at all, but I thought the actors who played lawyers (Liotta, Alda, Dern) were all great. Dern was doing her Dern thing, but I thought she did well, the preachy screed about Jesus aside. I always find it interesting how they determine what is an “Oscar movie” vs. “an Emmy-worthy made-for-TV movie” when both are primarily viewed on a streaming service. I know it’s pedigree (no way is Martin Scorsese letting Netflix submit “The Irishman” for Emmys), but it still feels a bit arbitrary, these distinctions, similar to how Netflix will put certain digital series up for Primetime vs. Daytime Emmys.

I thought CS had better chemistry with Guy Wilson. Didn’t see anything with Chandler.
