SNUBBED, BUT LOVED
The fact that Rachel Bloom’s rom-com-detonating musical didn’t even get honoured for its songs is, in a word, crazy. HERE ARE 10 REMARKABLE SHOWS THE EMMY AWARDS (SCREENING ON SEPT. 17 IN THE US) MISSED
1THE GOOD DOCTOR SEVEN
We prescribe a binge for the hit starring Freddie Highmore as an autistic surgeon. It’s not just feel-good, it’s feel-everything.
2THE GOOD PLACE
NETFLIX What other show has attempted to mix old-school joke-writing with deep moral philosophy? Season 2 of Michael Schur’s sitcom gem was high-concept but hilarious, even when it swung big (which was often).
3 BOJACK HORSEMAN NETFLIX
The spoof of Hollywood deserved an animation nod for a sly Season 4 that included some of its series-best(!) episodes.
4 CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND ELEVEN 5 BILLIONS STAN
Showtime’s finance fable moved past its “rich-peopleproblems” premise with electric storytelling.
6KILLING EVE
ABC The buzzy thriller received a nod for Sandra Oh (the first Asian woman ever nominated for lead actress!) but nothing else for the cat-and-mouse drama about a spy (Oh) and an assassin (Jodie Comer).
7 LATE NIGHT WITH SETH MEYERS
YOUTUBE The Emmys didn’t take a close enough look at Meyers’“closer Look” segments.
DEAR WHITE PEOPLE NETFLIX
The college satire used wit and wisdom to tell TV’S smartest story about race and relationships.
9 THE GOOD FIGHT
SBS The Christine Baranski–led Good Wife spin-off proved in Season 2—a playful, dangerous mirror of the age of Trump— why it’s TV’S most powerful legal drama.
10 ONE DAY AT A TIME
NETFLIX There’s more to America’s working class than just Roseanne— case in point, this uplifting sitcom about three generations of an immigrant Cuban family, starring Rita Moreno as an indomitable diva matriarch.
