all year, and Noah Wyle was fantastic.

I stopped watching Severance in season 2. It stopped making sense to me. I guess I need to restart season 2 and finish it.

I never really thought of The Bear as a comedy, but a drama with a comedic moments.

It's a great show though ... but definitely not a comedy.

About as relevant as you can get. Unfortunately, it's in the "genre ghetto," so it's lucky to have been nominated.
