'All-time classic series' dubbed a 'television masterpiece' is now streaming free
It has been added to the platform for free as part of a new deal An 'all-time classic series' dubbed a 'television masterpiece' is now streaming for free. The first season of award-winning comedy drama series Atlanta, is now available to watch at no extra cost on ITVX. The show, created by Donald Glover, otherwise known as Childish Gambino was produced by FX and previously only accessible via Disney+. However, thanks to a unique deal between the two companies, the broadcaster and corporation behind Star Wars and Marvel, have begun to swap titles on each other's streaming platforms. From today (July 16) the first batch was made available on ITVX under the banner, Taste of Disney+. This includes season one of Atlanta. Although the remaining three seasons remain available only on Disney+. The show boasts a near perfect score of 98% on Rotten Tomatoes and would go on to pick up seven Emmys during its four season run. Glover stars as Earn, who works as a manager for his cousin Alfred, an upcoming rapper, and they try to make a name for themselves in the music industry. Throughout, Earn struggles with providing for his child and long term partner. The show also provided breakout roles for Brian Tyree Henry who would go on to feature in the Spider-Verse movies, Knives Out star LaKeith Stanfield and Deadpool 2's Zazie Beetz. Atlanta was an instant hit with the critics and is expected to have its fanbase grow even larger now the first season is available for free. Actually one of the best TV series ever in my opinion.. so many subtle messages to decipher from each episode and a great comedy aspect to it too. On its debut, The Guardian claimed it was 'the smartest and funniest show on TV.' Viewers were also full of praise, with one posting on Metacritic saying: "A television masterpiece. Donald Glover has created an all-time classic series. Has a ton of rewatchability. It's hilarious, inciteful and just feels fresh. Easy 10/10." Another described what they admire about it in more detail: "One of THE best shows on TV right now. Don't watch it expecting a clean cut story line. It has one but the focus is not really on that. The show presents real and surreal situations and moments to force the audience to think critically (or not) about those situations. "It can be funny, it can be dramatic, it can be creepy and scary, which is what makes Atlanta so great and different from a lot of tv shows who choose to stay in one or two lanes.." Someone else shared their thoughts online saying: "One of the best written shows to date. Real, fleshed-out characters you actually care about. Compelling story that has meaning without being too on-the-nose. Witty and funny and entertaining, I would definitely recommend giving Atlanta a go."

Newly Emmy-Nominated Hulu Shows You Should Be Watching
FX received a total of 35 nods and Hulu raked in 23, bringing its overall haul to 58. This is significantly less than last year (not every year can be a Shōgun year!), but still an impressive showing when you look at its dominance in the major acting categories. The Bear (S3) As suspected, The Television Academy yet again said yes, chef to The Bear. Having a new (and considerably more favored) season of The Bear streaming during the voting window might have been exactly what the show needed to boost its Emmy chances. The drama (with some comedic moments!) was able to bring in 13 overall nominations — including for Ayo Edibiri's directing on the episode "Napkins" — despite a more tepidly received third season. That brings its total to 49 Emmy noms across three seasons.13 nominations, including: Comedy Series, Lead Actor in a Comedy Series (Jeremy Allen White), Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Ayo Edibiri), Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Ebon Moss-Bachrach), Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series (Liza Colón-Zayas), Directing for a Comedy Series (Ayo Edibiri), Guest Actor in a Comedy Series (Jon Bernthal), Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (Olivia Colman), Guest Actress in a Comedy Series (Jamie Lee Curtis)Watch it on Hulu. Dying For Sex No surprises here! This limited series, based on the real-life story of Molly Kochan — whose terminal cancer diagnosis prompted a journey of sexual exploration — was an undeniable critical hit and featured what many believe to be career-best work from Jenny Slate and Michelle Williams. Its nomination haul reflects that. 9 nominations, including: Limited or Anthology Series, Lead Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Michelle Williams), Supporting Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Rob Delaney), Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie (Jenny Slate), Directing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or MovieWatch it on Hulu. What We Do in the Shadows (S6) While What We Do In The Shadows wasn't able to break into the major acting categories, it's a relief to see that it's back in the Comedy Series mix for its final season. Now, get ahead of your streaming blues and read our list of show recs if it just hit you that, for the first time since 2018, there won't be a new season headed to FX.8 nominations, including: Comedy Series, Writing For a Comedy SeriesWatch it on Hulu. Only Murders in the Building (S4) No Steve, Selena, or more shockingly, Meryl, but eight nominations is nothing to frown about. In its fourth season, the comedy series had an uphill battle with new entries like The Studio and Nobody Wants This crowding the acting field.8 nominations, including: Comedy Series, Lead Actor In A Comedy Series (Martin Short)Watch it on Hulu. Mid-Century Modern (S1) A posthumous nod for Linda Lavin seemed like the most logical place for the Television Academy to show support for this new series, which follows three gay men who retire to Palm Springs. However, voters seemed more taken by the below-the-line craft, recognizing its sound mixing, production design, and picture editing. Its directing nomination was the biggest surprise of the bunch.5 nominations, including: Directing for a Comedy Series Watch it on Hulu. Paradise (S1) Perhaps the biggest overperformer from Hulu was this new series from This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman. While many were on the lookout for Sterling K. Brown's name, few saw James Marsden and Julianne Nicholson getting in there. Two acting nominations for Nicholson in a calendar year feels absolutely right, though.4 nominations, including: Outstanding Drama Series, Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Sterling K. Brown), Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series (James Marsden), Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series (Julianne Nicholson)Watch it on Hulu. Welcome to Wrexham (S3) It should not come as a surprise to anyone that the two-time winner in the Unstructured Reality Program category has yet again received a nod for its third season. This genre-defying docu-series slash real-life Ted Lasso from Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds is clearly just getting started. 4 nominations, including: Unstructured Reality ProgramWatch it on Hulu. Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years In this hour-long special filmed at Seattle's Moore Theatre, Bill Burr takes on the mess of contradictions that define our modern lives. Emmy voters did not contradict themselves in their praise for his work — also throwing it a Picture Editing nomination.2 nominations, including: Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded)Watch it on Hulu. The Handmaid's Tale (S6) It's a time-honored tradition to see final seasons overperform on Emmy nomination morning. That was not the case with The Handmaid's Tale. The critical favorite, which previously nabbed 15 Emmy wins across its five seasons — including a Drama Series win for its first season — received an underwhelming send-off with S6. Reliably great guest actor Cherry Jones earned the lone nomination for Handmaid's — a third for her. 1 nomination: Guest Actress in a Drama Series (Cherry Jones)Watch it on Hulu. Sly Lives! (aka the Burden of Black Genius) Questlove's first doc won an Oscar. His second? Well, it may have flown under your radar entirely. Good thing the Television Academy has given the brilliant, underseen project about funk pioneer Sly Stone (and so much more) a bit more visibility by honoring it here. 1 nomination: Documentary or Nonfiction Special Watch it on Hulu. Social Studies This five-part series from Lauren Greenfield is a fascinating and sobering examination of teenhood in the age of TikTok. (And no, this won't be the last time you see TikTok mentioned in this nomination list.) As I expected, voters simply couldn't shake this doc when it came time to put pen to paper.1 nomination: Documentary or Nonfiction SeriesWatch it on Hulu. Say Nothing Well, one nomination is The chatter around this limited series adapted from the Patrick Radden Keefe book seemed to die down in the months after its release — never a great sign for an already under-the-radar title. In a just world, this series would have also landed a nod for Best Limited or Anthology Series. But we don't live in a just world, and you would know that if you watched Say Nothing.1 nomination: Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or MovieWatch it on Hulu. The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives (S1) My reality feels very unstructured after learning that The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives landed a nomination for Unstructured Reality Program. I say that with mostly love in my heart! Hulu's breakout hit, now in its second season, introduced many to the messy, disorienting world of MomTok. Now, can we get these ladies in the same room as Julianne Nicholson's Dance Mom at the Emmys?1 nomination: Unstructured Reality ProgramWatch it on Hulu. Watch all of these Emmy nominees on Hulu.

When you're with them, you must tend to that person and that relationship.' When we meet Rob Delaney's character, 'Neighbor Guy,' in FX's limited series 'Dying for Sex,' he's scarfing down a burrito in an elevator, dripping food on his face and the floor. But Delaney's performance reveals that under Neighbor Guy's messy exterior is a man capable of deep vulnerability and empathy. 'Dying for Sex' follows a woman named Molly, played by Michelle Williams, who is dying of cancer and desperate to experience sexual pleasure before it's too late. At first, Molly thinks Neighbor Guy is disgusting, but the two soon discover they make sense together, sexually and emotionally. Williams and Delaney received Emmy nominations for their roles. Today, Delaney tells host Anna Martin why exposing the messy and painful parts of ourselves to other people can be rewarding and hilarious. He talks about tending his own relationship and reads a Modern Love essay about a couple who decides to try some role play to avoid getting too comfortable with each other.
