Todd Longwell From the majestic-but-aged environs inhabited by the British royals Netflix’s in “The Crown” and the decadent sun-drenched luxury of the San Domenico Palace resort in Taormina, Sicily, in HBO’s “The White Lotus” to the foreboding Ontario wilderness where a girls’ soccer team is stranded in Showtime’s “Yellowjackets,” the locations used in this year’s Emmy-nominated dramas loom so large they can be viewed as characters unto themselves that interact with the performers and help shape the narrative. It’s especially true of the role Albuquerque, N.M., plays in AMC’s “Better Call Saul.” There’s no telling if the series would even exist if creator Vince Gilligan had gotten his way back in the mid-2000s and the studio suits at Sony agreed to let him use Riverside, Calif., as the setting for its predecessor “Breaking Bad” (2008-2013), which established the “Saul” characters and their dramatic universe.
“I’m glad we won’t know,” says “Better Call Saul” producer Melissa Bernstein. “I think Vince always wanted those visuals to jump off the screen and tell you what you’re watching, and I’m just not sure that could have happened [if it had been shot in Riverside].
And the last episode had so many locations in it, but we weren’t like, ‘We’ll just go back here and here.’ It was, ‘We have to figure out the next new puzzle.’” One of the key puzzle pieces for the series finale, directed by co-creator Peter Gould, was the opening scene set in an otherwise barren spot in the desert with a stock tank and windmill, both of which had to be brought in for the shoot. “We had to find a desert location that could fit in with what we had shot the prior season,” says Bernstein.

campaign of harassment against him and then-wife Jennifer Aniston after they started a $1 million renovation. “Theroux has established as a matter of law that various aspects of Norman Resnicow’s behavior toward him constitute a private nuisance — an intentional, unreasonable, interference with Theroux’s use and enjoyment of his apartment,” Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Gerald Lebovitz ruled.Theroux, 52, claimed in his suit that Resnicow, 76, had trespassed on his property, peeped into his windows, harassed workers and killed the ivy that grew on their shared roof terrace.Lebovitz previously found Resnicow liable for trespassing on Theroux’s side of the roof deck space.The judge rejected Resnicow’s request for the case not to be decided by a jury — saying Theroux was entitled to have jurors hear the case and that there were open questions for the panel to decide, according to the Monday ruling.In particular, jurors will be tasked with determining the damages to be awarded to the “Mulholland Drive” actor — who the judge said could also seek punitive damages at trial.Theroux — who split from the “Friends” actress in 2018 — is seeking at least $4.58 million in damages at trial.The next court date and a trial date have not been set yet.“The judge left many issues of facts for a jury to resolve and, therefore, we will need a jury trial to resolve them,” Resnicow’s lawyer Peter Levine told The Post Thursday.Levine said he doesn’t know if the case will settle ahead of trial, but noted that prior negotiations had broken down.

Sharareh Drury This Emmy season was filled with mothers who defied the odds and often put themselves in harm’s way to protect their children. In the past, I’d watch characters like these with admiration and awe, but never truly understood the gut-wrenching pain that comes with creating and protecting life. That changed last fall thanks to two mothers in particular — a dragon queen and a defiant handmaid.
