Without the writers' strike and then the actors' strike that paralyzed all of Hollywood, the Emmy evening would have taken place as usual in September. Here is the 75the The issue premieres this Monday (January 15, 8 p.m. on Fox). The series Succession And The bear, recently honored at the Golden Globes, are considered favorites. Overview for orientation.
In the category Best Comedy
Among the best comedies, there are few surprises. Barry And Mrs. Maisel always reach the charts. Little was said about this Jury duty in Quebec. On the other hand, Wednesday stood out when it was released. Ted Lasso already seduced us in the first season. The charm ofAbbott Elementary School operates. Just murders in the building entertains. But the series The bear has everything it takes to stand out at the trophy presentation.
ABBOTT ELEMENTARY
This is what we call a “mockumentary” like “Parks and Recreation” or “The Office.” We follow the everyday lives of dedicated teachers at a public school in Philadelphia, whose clientele is predominantly of Afro-descent. They juggle a lack of resources, funding and consideration. Janine is the chief optimist, always ready to involve her colleagues in 56 projects. Because everyone agrees on the importance of education.

BARRY
A series in which the tasks of a hitman mix with his interest in dramatic art. On the one hand, Barry has a dark and opaque job, but on the other hand, he enjoys the more frivolous world of gambling, which he would happily immerse himself in if he were not involved in organized crime. The fourth and final season premiered on HBO last May.

THE BEAR
In an exciting first season, Carmy, a former gourmet chef, took over his brother's small snack bar after his death. It nervously described everyday kitchen life with its unforeseen events. In the second season he wants to create a restaurant according to his taste. We follow all stages with enthusiasm. An hour-long anthology episode also lets us understand where he's coming from. A delicious series.

JURY DUTY
- Available on Prime Video
This series is undoubtedly the least known series and introduces us to the everyday life of jurors and the process of a trial. It is a series shot in the style of a documentary. Ronald Gladden is one of the protagonists. He takes his responsibilities seriously, but doesn't realize that the people around him are actors.
THE WONDERFUL WOMAN MAISEL
- Available on Prime Video
Another nomination for this fifth and final season, which takes us to the end of the 1950s and sees a young woman's rise to the rank of comedian. Over the course of the seasons, she has experienced the full range of emotions to achieve her dreams that seemed impossible at the time. Like many other women, she emancipated herself. Here she is now in full possession of her resources.

TED LASSO
Ted could have become the laughing stock of the league had he ended up at the helm of the Richmond club. But the lasso method has proven itself and even caused admiration. It is the quintessentially humane and caring series. This third and final season proves it. If he wants to reunite with his family in the US, Ted will make sure the club is in good hands. We forget about resentment, we focus on empowerment and trust.

WEDNESDAY
Wednesday Addams is unusual. She needs special childcare and her parents send her to a special school far from home. A new life opens up for the teenager. A dark and humorous horror series.

BETTER CALL SAUL
Another series that celebrated its final work after six seasons. The ending also allows us to connect with the series “Breaking Bad” as Jimmy, the protagonist of the series, meets Walter and Jesse, the drug dealers of this television hit. Before he was Saul, Jimmy was a lawyer. He decided to resort to rather crooked methods and illegal activities to enrich himself.

THE CROWN
This historical fresco, which chronicles the reign of Queen Elizabeth II over six seasons, has caused quite a stir. We can only recognize his qualities, although certain details are certainly fictionalized. The latest work examines the final months of Lady Di's life and William's (and Harry's) entry into the public eye. A time we all remember fondly.

HOUSE OF THE DRAGON
Those who followed Game of Thrones were able to discover the origins of Daenerys Targaryen and the causes of the civil war that led to the downfall of her family thanks to this series. Once again we are dealing with a great show, with overwhelming special effects and no pity for the protagonists. More than 10 million viewers watched it each week on HBO.

THE LAST OF US
We are in a post-apocalyptic era in which a pandemic has wreaked havoc and wiped out much of the population. We follow an unlikely duo consisting of young Ellie, who is afflicted by the virus but fights back, and Joel, who ensures her safety by leading her to those who may be able to save humanity. This series is an adaptation of a popular video game.

SUCCESSION
An incredible family saga that kept us on the edge of our seats for four seasons. The Roy family is dysfunctional. The patriarch stands at the head of an empire that every child wants to inherit. The final episodes trace the strategies with investors against a political background. The betrayal increases. The dialogues are concise. A very good show.

THE WHITE LOTUS
Delicious chronicle of the misery of the rich. This time we are staying in a luxurious hotel in Sicily. We find the flamboyant Tanya, her assistant and her new husband, a multi-generational trio in seduction mode, two couples caught up in their lies and two young Italians looking for money. A pretty entertaining and unusual program for remote holidaymakers as spectators.

YELLOW JACKETS
It's been a survival story for two seasons. The story takes place in two phases. The past, when a team of football players were stranded in the wilderness, and 25 years later, when the survivors continue to hide dark secrets. A thriller for demanding, sensitive hearts.
