> Bob Odenkirk could find himself in the rare Emmy air this year. AMC will submit Odenkirk’s new series, “Lucky Hank,” in comedy categories for this year’s Emmy competition, Variety has confirmed.

> Of course, AMC is also submitting the final episodes of Odenkirk’s “Better Call Saul” in the drama fields. Should Odenkirk be nominated in both the best drama actor and best comedy actor races, he would become the first performer in history to be nominated in both genres in the same year.

It would be an absolute crime if he did not get a nom for Better Call Saul.

I have a bad feeling BCS is going to get completely shut out next year. The Emmys have never seemed interested in rewarding them and with over a year between the finale and the show itself I don't see it picking up much.

On paper it has some intense competition. AMC has just never been able to cash in on Better Call Saul and it has a multi-headed hydra of top shelf HBO stuff to go up against. The White Lotus, House of the Dragon, Succession and The Last of Us plus everything else.

I’d still go with BCS if only because they never got a win but I wouldn’t be shocked if they got snubbed.

First episode was pretty weak

I thought it was ok but the first episode gave me no sense of direction for the over-arching plot. Reading the description I thought it would be about a character’s descent into madness (maybe is?) but then watched the first episode and it seems like a dark comedy? My main takeaway from the first episode is that I feel bad for his wife lol

I'm really not seeing the point to LH. It's only somewhat funny.

I don’t think it’s supposed to be hilarious. It’s a dramedy.

But it’s not great at either tbh

It’s only been two episodes, and I believe there’s potential there.

Bojack Horseman is one of my favourite shows of all time and I can imagine what people were saying after two episodes.

It got tore apart in reviews:

> The first season of the show received mostly mixed reviews from critics. This may have been due to most outlets only reviewing the first few episodes of the season, unaware that the show developed a darker and deeper tone about midway through the first season. The improvement was so significant that it forced Indiewire to change its grading policy to watch a show's entire season upon availability instead of just the first half dozen or so episodes, which would have boosted their original rating of BoJack's first season.

Also, “AMC is still determining where to place Rhea Seehorn, who was nominated last year for supporting drama actress.”

Drama directing submissions include Michael Morris (609), Michelle MacLaren (610), Thomas Schnauz (611) and Peter Gould (613), while drama writing submissions are Gordon Smith (608), Ann Cherkis (609), Alison Tatlock (610), Thomas Schnauz (611) and Peter Gould (613).

AMC’s other drama submissions come from “Anne Rice’s Interview with the Vampire” and “Anne Rice’s Mayfair Witches.”

interesting that Gilligan didn't get submitted for either writing or directing considering his episode got the DGA nom

> For “Better Call Saul,” submissions besides Odenkirk include Jonathan Banks, Giancarlo Esposito and Pat Healy for supporting actor in a drama; AMC is still determining where to place Rhea Seehorn, who was nominated last year for supporting drama actress. Meanwhile, the legendary Carol Burnett will be submitted in supporting drama actress.

> In the guest categories, “Saul” is fronting “Breaking Bad” alum Betsy Brandt for drama guest actress, and more “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” alums for drama guest actor, including Bryan Cranston, Tony Dalton, Mark Margolis, Michael McKean and Aaron Paul.

God damn it nothing for Michael Mando. He was great in season 6.

It’s well written. His character is enjoyable, almost in a Saul Goodman playing his retirement role.

But the one hour is so heavy with words and characters I’m having trouble connecting and being interested in some of these small filler actors

I absolutely love Lucky Hank but if you aren't a literary nerd I can imagine it's pretty boring or not funny. Like if you came to Odenkirk from BCS I don't think Lucky Hank might keep your attention very long.
