salutation from Austin , Texas … and the 2019 SXSW ! tv set rule the fest this twelvemonth , with Good Omens , American Gods , NOS4A2 , Cobra Kai , and more !

Greetings from Austin , Texas … and the 2019South By Southwest Film Festival ( SXSW ) !

This year , everyoneis talking about television ! After a hard first weekend of long lines , covering , and lots of bombilation , it ’s time to hold back in on all the wild happenings … or at least everything I was able-bodied to get to ( so far ) and still live to order about it .

There is justtoo muchhere to see ; unlike the films being show , most of the " Episodic " content at SXSW gets screen only once – and often in smaller locale – so only averylucky few get in to see everything .

The first matter you note this year?Good Omensiseverywhere . Amazon Prime ’s new show has literally covered all of our shuttlecock autobus – it’salmosta little unsettling .

Good Omensalso took over a select placement on Rainey St. to produce " The Garden of Earthly Delights . " Heavy on atm but visible light on spoilers or secrets to the show , we ’ll have to wait for more until the serial ' premiere on May 31 .

Well , noteveryonewill have to wait , as a lucky few get in to the Long Center on Saturday night to see " The Nice and Accurate SXSW Panel , " which showed snippets from forthcoming episodes . In attendance ? The Chattering Order of St. Bery , who also somehow seemed to beeverywhereat the conference as well .

Pick up your registration ? nun .

Grab a cycle rickshaw to your next localization ? conical buoy .

In line withNeil Gaiman …   you get the idea .

Divine intervention?Possibly …

regrettably , I was otherwise occupy at this time – specifically taking the " route less travelled " from the Christian duopoly to check outHulu ’s coming comedy seriesRamy . From stand - up comicRamy Yousef , the show is a fresh and incredibly funny take on his attempts to pilot both his complex relationship with his Muslim religion ( Yes it ’s a clowning ! ) and also the world around him .

I ’ll have more on this closer to the April 19th premiere appointment on Hulu , include an exclusive interview with Yousef .

Suffice it to say , the show is by all odds deserving your time . The pilot is incredibly piquant , with the other two episodes screened wield the cowcatcher ’s quality . In a post - screening Q&A , one attendee shout because seeing herself and her residential area on screen door as full human beings in a comedy was so powerful . Indeed it was – for everyone in attendance .

We antecedently cover on the opening night premiere ofWhat We Do In the phantom , but I ca n’t emphasise enough how much you need to go over that out . Because these guys know comedy . And vampires .

Other giant shows making a splash at SXSW include STARZ’sAmerican Gods(are weevergoing to get forth from faith ? ) , who also had quite the pavilion set up over on Rainey St – let in position to give obedience to all your favorite idol … both one-time and new .

They also held a watch - company and " tweet - a - thon " for anyone who attended the season premiere screening in person on Sunday evening .

This year ’s SXSW fete is also incredibly political , with nigh every presidential candidate ( and that ’s a circle ! ) show up , as well asAlexandria Ocasio - Cortez(who had her Q&A crashed by none other thanBill Nye , The Science Guy ! ) andtwodifferent documentaries feature local favoriteBeto O’Rourke . tot in to this mixThe Daily Show with Trevor Noah , who also countersink up their Donald Trump Twitter Presidential Library . It ’s an incredibly play display , and you may get the experience of what it ’s like to beDonald Trump , sitting on a golden toilet at 3 a.m. and tweeting .

Yes , that is the Russian flagstone to the right . Trevor Noah , several of the steady letter writer , and CNN’sJake Tapperalso brought down the planetary house with a great panel . Luckily for you , you may watch the entire thing on Facebookhere .

And all that was just in the first three days ! come up Monday dark , March 11 , we ’ll bring you a review of Hulu ’s raw comedyShrillstarringAidy Bryantfrom executive producersElizabeth BanksandLorne Micheals .

We ’re also incredibly excited for the premiere ofAMC’sNOS4A2and will be talking to choose cast and bunch beforehand !

Tuesday nighttime ( if we ’re lucky ) we ’ll get to seeYouTube ’s 2d time of year premiere ofCobra Kai . There ’s some badly great mojo in the venue they ’re holding the premiere , The Highball , as it is home to some of the most amazing karaoke room in Austin . If we ’re golden enough to get in , we ’ll let you know all about it .

SXSW is domicile to some of the ripe film content , but they ’re really outflank themselves with television subject . Keep it here for more coverage of SXSW through the ending of the festival Saturday , March 16 .
