    I know it was discussed last year, but classifying The Bear as a comedy is a bit unfair. While the show certainly has its comedic moments, that shit is a stressful drama 90% of the time. I accept that awards are always bonkers, and comparing art and performances is not ever “fair.” It just seems insincere to put yourself in the same category as a show like What we do in the Shadows or Abbott Elementary when it seems to clearly belong in competition with shows like Shogun or Mr and Mrs Smith.

    I don’t think you can compare the acting of Jeremy Allen White in a serious show about the life of a chef to that of Matt Berry who is pretending to be a horny vampire and occasional girls volleyball sponsor/humble neighborhood bartender from Tucson Arizonia. Jackie Daytona was robbed, and I will die on this hill.

    How is Fallout a drama and not a comedy? How is this classification decided?

    Glad Hacks beat The Bear, S3 of The Bear is soooo boring and worthless, not to mention unfunny.

    Everyone should watch Shogun! If your anathema is crappily produced/costumed “high quality” streaming shows, it is the exact opposite. Best production I’ve seen in a long time.
