00:00
Are we very old friends?
00:04
No, I wouldn't say friends, Dolores.
00:08
The Emmy Awards are almost here, and we all know the best part about awards season,
00:13
the brutally honest ballot.
00:15
The Hollywood Reporter's Scott Feinberg spoke with an anonymous member of the TV Academy
00:20
who had an interesting take on the drama series category.
00:25
I'm the only person I know who has hated House of Cards from the start, says the voter.
00:30
It's always seemed pompous and too impressed with itself and never has worked for me,
00:34
but I dip a toe in every season to see if it's gotten any better, and it's like, nope.
00:39
But what about HBO's Westworld?
00:41
Surely the voter has warmer feelings towards a freshman offering.
00:44
In a word, nope.
00:46
According to the voter,
00:47
I really tried with Westworld, but while I was watching it,
00:51
which I did because my wife loves it and I'm a good husband,
00:54
I kept thinking to myself, this is pretentious bullshit.
00:57
He wasn't wowed by The Handmaid's Tale either,
01:00
though Better Call Saul is well-written and well-acted,
01:03
and Stranger Things is creepy and fun.
01:05
But this voter's heart is with...
01:07
this is us.
01:09
Every episode was great,
01:10
everyone can relate to at least one of those characters,
01:13
and it was the one show this year that we would rush home to watch and talk about.
01:18
Head to THR.com for more from the brutally honest Emmy ballot,
01:21
including the voter's take on best comedy series.
01:24
Here's an Atlanta-themed tease.
01:27
I'm a big Donald Glover fan, says the voter.
01:29
I think he's a huge talent, and I wish that showed nothing but success.
01:33
But it isn't funny, at least to an old white guy like me.
01:36
And there's more where that came from.
01:38
In the meantime, let us know what you think about these hot takes in the comments section.
01:43
For The Hollywood Reporter News, I'm Lindsay Rodriguez.
