An Emmy For Megan: Season 1


Here's a very slight, uh, "TV show" that came out a couple days ago. The whole thing is like thirty minutes long. It's a ridiculously low-effort and self-referencing webseries from writer and Twitter personality Megan Amram about, yeah, her quest to win an Emmy for "best actress in a short-form webseries" or something similarly dumb but real. I mean, the entire series exists to mock and troll the Emmy Awards for having such low-stakes categories - it's hardly inconcievable to think Megan Amram just might actually get nominated for an Emmy for a show explicilty about how low the bar is to qualify for the exact Emmy she's trying to win. The requirements? At least six episodes, all of them under fifteen minutes long, and all of them released by April 27th, 2018 (which is, of course, the exact date this entire season dropped). That's it! That's all! I won't ruin the best joke in the show, but, it's the fourth episode. (I'm not saying it happens in the fourth episode, I'm saying it is, in fact, the fourth episode.)

I can't call this a must-watch by any stretch, but it's a funny enough way to kill half an hour or so. Lowest commitment "season" of "television" you'll see all year, too.
