WHO

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.
