It's an all-TV episode! On the eve of the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards, we run down what's nominated and who we're pulling for (#GiveAmyAdamsAnEmmyYouCowards). Jam-packed with dozens of TV recommendations, plus a fond farewell to some of our favorites (R.I.P. Broad City and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend), and some overdue recognition for O.G.s Jane Fonda and Gilda Radnor in the documentary category.

'The Farewell' and Asian Representation with Theresa Shim

Lulu Wang's new film The Farewell has quickly become the indie darling of the summer, with a 99% on Rotten Tomatoes and a record-setting per-theater box office average, despite only a limited release. It stars Awkwafina as Billie, an American woman who must return home to China with the rest of her family, to say good-bye to their beloved matriarch, Nai Nai, while keeping her in the dark about her own illness. Based on "an actual lie" from Wang's own life, the film tackles family dynamics and cultural divides in a way we have seldom seen on the big screen.
I talked with writer and digital media scholar Theresa Shim about why The Farewell meant so much to her as an API immigrant, and the state of Asian representation in media.
