It got three nominations for best actor in a drama, with Brian Cox, Jeremy Strong and Kieran Culkin all getting nods for playing men of the Roy clan, and Sarah Snook getting a best actress nomination.
“Succession” and its deeply dysfunctional dynasty of one-percenters led all Emmy nominees in its fourth and final season with 27, including best drama, which it has won two of the past three years. That stuff was fun, even as I was rolling my eyes a bit at the notion that there’s another mastermind that Michael has to take down.LOS ANGELES (AP) - HBO dominated Wednesday morning’s Emmy nominations, with the elite trio of “ Succession,” “The White Lotus” and “The Last of Us” combining for a whopping 74, but the dominant theme darkening the scene is the ongoing writers strike and the looming possibility that actors may join them in as little as a day. Coleman from “The Wire,” who conveniently sacrificed his life on behalf of four relative strangers who can now fake their own deaths for a while) having to go up against Tyler Grey (Kenny Johnson from “The Shield”) and his army with minimal supplies, no ground support, and a John McClane shoe situation for Jesse. Put a problem in front of Michael and friends, and see them solve it – in this case with the team (plus Chad L. Still, “Burn Notice” tends to work best on the micro level rather than the macro these days. But it’s what the show is, and Michael having to go up against the CIA itself (or, at least, one rogue agent) rather than some shadow company adjacent to the real thing at least has potential to not be exactly like what’s come before. On the other, Michael’s promises to Fi that this is the time he’s getting out of the game, for real, no foolin’, are starting to feel like all those episodes of “The Killing” where Linden kept insisting she was going to fly to Sonoma any minute now. McGinley to stick around, as he so ably demonstrated his value in the scene where Card tries to make Maddie feel better about the son she still has. On the one hand, I’m happy to have an excuse for John C. First it was taking out Management, then Vaughn, then Anson, etc., etc., etc., and now Michael has the actual CIA going against him. The success and ongoing life of the show has given Matt Nix the problem of having to keep inventing excuses for Michael to stay connected to the spy life. I saw what I needed to see – Nate’s death episode, for instance – and the previouslies and Michael’s narration filled me in on the rest, and that was enough.
I don’t mean plot-wise – the USA shows are all designed for people to be able to drop in and out of as needed, and to never be too taxing if you’ve missed several (or are tuning in for the first time several seasons in) – but in terms of my level of interest in the characters.

One of the other USA series could well be the standard-bearer at this point, but “Burn Notice” is “my” USA show, if you know what I mean.Īnd because it’s the one I’m attached to, I was even able to get away with skipping several episodes in the middle of the season (during my adventures in California) without feeling too lost. Of course, I felt much the same way about “Burn Notice” at first, but for whatever reason, I stuck it out with that one over the early rough spots and could fully appreciate the transformation into something good. That may well be true, but I didn’t love either one at the start and stopped watching for a while when I’ve attempted to pick them back up later, the connection’s simply not there.
I hear all the time from fans of “White Collar” and “Suits” that one of those shows has now taken up the banner as USA’s best. A review of the “Burn Notice” mid-season finale coming up just as soon as I use sparkplugs as a substitute for diamonds…
