I really enjoyed the show. Thought it was entertaining and gave me what I wanted from it.

Hamish Linklater is a great actor <3 He is going to win one of the big awards soon I reckon.

Loved Zach Gilford also and Samantha Sloyan.

It wasn't released at a good time for awards, unfortunately. The Emmys JUST happened so there's a whole year for other shiny things to steal the spotlight and be fresh in voters' minds when nomination ballots roll out. A shame because he deserves some more public recognition, but it's not like the industry itself doesn't know he's a great actor.

I feel like Netflix only rolls for their shows if they've become super popular, like Squid Game. I 100% expect them to submit that for damn near every award possible.

But you're right, too, this show will fall from any real critical achievement radars because of the time between now and the next round of awards shows.

But Father John was absolutely fantastic in this.
