    Hacks is a great comedy series that is going to lose Best Comedy to a drama (The Bear) that evades classification as a drama because it would lose Best Drama to Shōgun, a limited series that won't compete for Best Limited Series so that Fargo, a comedy series, has a chance there. Enjoy the Emmys!

    I think we got about 3000 people at our rally in #Fargo for #NoKings. We had a street theater performance, live music, and a series of really excellent speakers. It was entirely peaceful. The only “disruption” was exuberant honking from motorists who were supporting us. Go, Fargo!

    Sterlin Harjo’s new series, “The Lowdown,” is a more conventional outing than his landmark show, “Reservation Dogs.” It hews closer to a sun-drenched “Fargo,” adhering to the beats of a traditional crime drama—albeit a stylish one, Inkoo Kang writes.
