The turnaround for this show has been stunning, but it's really on the strength of the performances of a select group of actors that Season 6 has been award-worthy. If this season ends up the best, I'd say that this episode THINGS LEFT TO DO should be the main contender for Emmy consideration, primarily thanks to Colby Minifie's phenomenonal performance as the mercurial, memorable villain Virginia/Ginny. Recently I've been lamenting about the lack of truly great acting of female characters on this show prior to Season 6. Sorry, but look at the brilliant, natural acting of characters like Ginny and Dakota versus that of the more mannered, just passable acting of Madison, Alicia, and June. And don't even get me started on the "acting" for Lucy, Al, Grace, and Sarah! Lol Colby Minifie has raised the bar on not just acting for female characters, but ALL characters. Ginny is easily Top 5 and that may be undervaluing her. As I watched this episode, I was glued to the screen any time Ginny had a scene as Minifie owned the stage. Then any non-Ginny scene would pop up and I'd realize, yeah, most of these actors are getting carried hard by the likes of Minifie, Dillahunt, and Colletti. Some actors are just better than others. On a show with a cast this huge, that's a given. And now that 2 out of those 3 actors are gone from the show, I really wonder if Season 6 will end up truly great or just very good. Time will tell.
