It’s long been for fans of FX’s restaurant series that it just sort of , splatting on to the internet in a massive impact of content on a random night, like it’s 2012 and we’re all talking about some new Netflix show that just arrived. While binge-dropping a show still has its place in 2024, there’s been a push over the last years—mostly spurred on by Disney+, by our reckoning—that any show that really matters enough to get a weekly release, allowing anticipation to build from week to week. ’s FX On Hulu arrivals feel a little throwback-y in that climate—and worse, like they can potentially mute wider anticipation for one of the most critically lauded and exciting shows on TV.
FX head John Landgraf does not agree. In (mostly a victory lap for how many goddamn Emmy nominations his various teams have piled up at his triumphant feet this week), Landgraf states, clearly and bluntly, that he genuinely thinks is served better by a binge release, and that it isn’t likely to change any time soon. Landgraf also addressed thing, i.
e., the fact that one of the most consistently harrowing and stressful shows on TV is competing as a comedy. Or, at least, acknowledged that this was a topic that could be addressed: “There are parts of that season that are very, very funny.
We let the voters decide the answers to these questions.” (Also: No comment on whether the show will try to switch Emmy categories for season 3.).
