Just finished the Euphoria season one finale. I don't know that she wins them, but I definitely think Zendaya should get some Emmy and Golden Globe consideration for her work on this show. And this finale should be the episode they submit for consideration because she was fantastic in this episode.

Looking forward to wrapping the season up tonight. And absolutely agree - she's been amazing so far. Wow - the finale is what they should submit? Goodness I can't wait to see that.

Last season was not good.
I think you'll be pleased with this one.

I finished it almost a week ago, the final season was definitely a major improvement over 5 & 6!

What was so wrong with those season? Personally OITNB was a consistent C/C+ show every season for me. The final season did a good job wrapping everything up, but I didnt think it was any better or worse than the past few seasons.

I HATE Badison. And that whole story line with the new characters and their drug war and the kickball game was just meh to me.

Wow. I wasn't familiar with the source material, but even having just seen the trailer, I immediately thought "This looks like a Garth Ennis comic come to life."

I enjoyed his run on Hitman back in the day, but none of his work is aging very well, IMO.

His war stuff is good and his run on Punisher is good. I agree on the rest, never could get into Preacher.
 
I couldn’t make it through the last season of Oitnb and my wife seems in no hurry to start this one.

Ok, yup. I get it. Wow, stunningly devastating and beautiful episode. She shouldn't just get nominated, she should win.

@everyone-
I said it. Don't @ me. ;)

Euphoria isn't always successful at balancing out the ugly and the beautiful, and often times it isn't even trying to, but I thought last night's finale really stuck the landing. A very cool visual concept to end on. Left some interesting cliffhangers and open threads for the next season. Glad it wasn't just me that thought she was exceptional in that one. I also thought that Maude Apatow's Lexi stole pretty much all of the scenes she was in. Not sure what they plan on doing with her character, but she should get more screen time next season. She provides some much needed comic relief in an otherwise heavy show.

Lexie was so secondary. I was kind of surprised she is an Apatow. She was great so I do hope she gets more going forward.

The way the show used music was awesome. And the directing was superb. In the final episode when

Rue finally kissed Jules, I grinned so huge. But the other things happening that the scene was spliced with didn't let me stay in my happiness very long. The ice skating and the song and the abortion - powerful. It was visually similar to the scene in the carnival episode when Rue and Jules are lying in bed at the end and the way it is shot it makes it look like they are dancing. Just really well done.

Has it been renewed for a 2nd season??

I honestly may watch the whole season again.
 
Just finished all the Black Mirror seasons and the last was by far the worst. The stories and acting were far less compelling.

I'd say my top 5 across all seasons, in no particular order were:
Hang the DJ
Be Right Back
Playtest
Shut Up and Dance
Black Museum

Honorable mentions:
Crocodile if only for the acting and extremely dark and out of control story line. USS Callister was fun but there were plot holes that kinda made the ending fall flat for me. Hated in the Nation was good too, but other seemingly out of character moments to keep the plot going were distracting.
 
Anyone watch the sinner? I have watched 3 of season 2. This commune story line is fascinating to me. And the kid is doing amazing an amazing job.

Season 6 wasn't bad, and I liked some of the new max characters (Carol, Barb, Daddy), but Badison just got on my nerves more and more as the season went on.
