I always think the young actors in that show are terrific, aren't they? Some of those roles don't seem easy to play for such young people. I mean it can be pretty dark.

I watched the British series. When I heard they were making an American version I thought it wouldn't be as good. The Brits seem to be able to get away with much more on their tv. I couldn't imagine some of those scenarios playing out in America. And I couldn't see William Macy playing Frank. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised that it's as good as the original. Can't wait for the new season. The entire cast is fantastic.

I also liked The Leftovers. It's kinda weird so I can see it not getting nominated. Science fiction-y type shows rarely get rewarded for some reason.

Never saw Getting On.

(I don't like JLD either - I think Veep is unwatchable, yet it wins awards all the time).
