Cheers to Connor Jessup
for killing it on American Crime. As rape victim turned school shooter Taylor Blaine, the Falling Skies alum offers a devastating portrait of a young man’s bone-deep grief, shame and, now, terror at what he’s become. It’ll be a real crime if the Emmy voters ignore his astounding turn.
Cheers to black-ish
for tackling gray matters. The A+ comedy earned extra points with an episode about police brutality and race that was emotional, balanced, informed and, best of all, brimming with standout performances from its younger cast (including Miles Brown and Marsai Martin, with Jenifer Lewis) as the Johnson kids realized some things aren’t black and white.
Jeers to Shark Tank guest Chris Sacca
for tooting his own horn. We get it, you invested in Uber. Now please stop mentioning it during every pitch or we’re gonna start using Lyft
Jeers to Daryl and Rick.
The Walking Dead’s sweaty Dumb and Dumber bungled a simple trip to salvage supplies, leading to a sunken truck of rations and the boneheaded decision to bring hipster Jesus home with them. Even one-eyed Carl could see that was a bad idea.
