So much for the thinking that movies are dead and quality TV shows have snatched the reins of Hollywood.A quick glance at the 2024 Emmy Award nominations, which were announced on Wednesday, is enough to blow that theory into a million pieces.Television is in dire shape.This year’s pathetic lineup for Best Drama Series, supposedly the best the industry has to offer, would better serve as a list of streaming services to unsubscribe from than a group of must-watch shows.The marquee nominees are “The Crown” (Netflix) “The Gilded Age” (HBO) “The Morning Show” (Apple TV+), “Mr. & Mrs.
Smith” (Prime Video) “3 Body Problem” (Netflix), “Slow Horses” (Apple TV+) and “Shogun” (FX).I keep rereading that over and over, in complete and utter disbelief.Sans ads, watching them all will set you back a pricey $65 a month.Don’t bother.
Go to the beach instead.Where once the Emmys honored brilliant cable groundbreakers such as “The Sopranos,” “Breaking Bad,” “Mad Men” and “Succession,” in 2024 what makes the cut is “The Morning Show” sending Reese Witherspoon into outer space.The glory days of hour-long network hits such as “The West Wing,” “ER,” “Lost” and “24” have given way to unspeakably tacky “The Crown” schlepping out the Ghost of Princess Diana like Charles Dickens had a Bravo show.Julian Fellowes’ New York-set post-“Downton Abbey” project, “The Gilded Age,” is much like the final grating seasons of the once-phenomenal British series — overwrought and underpowered. “Mr. & Mrs.
Smith,” which confuses viewers because of the absence of Brangelina, “3 Body Problem” and “Slow Horses” have made no cultural impact.
