Best Series, Drama

□ “Lupin”

□ “The Morning Show”

□ “Pose”

□ “Squid Game”

“Succession” There’s no horse race here. Not only is the HBO drama universally acclaimed for its acting, writing and bold characterizations, but its Season 3 finale snared nearly 2 million viewers across all platforms — a new series record. The only way “Squid Game” wins is part and parcel of its international appeal.

Best Series, Musical or Comedy

□ “The Great”

“Ted Lasso” The show retained its feel-good approach in that always-tricky sophomore season and viewers responded in kind.

□ “Hacks”

□ “Only Murders in the Building”

□ “Reservation Dogs”
