If I Had an Emmy Ballot: Best of 2019-2020 TV

0 0

When I looked back at my list of shows to start working on this piece, I was honestly surprised at how far we’ve come. Not just because of the fact 2020 has been 100 years long, but the breadth of shows released was really interesting. I had a harder than usual time narrowing down my choices for my personal Emmy ballot because there was a lot of shows I liked but only few that I loved. I felt this particularly in Drama, where the American shows that had good seasons last year did not have the same type of hold on me as they did last year. This allowed for my most international lineup ever in Drama, with the win going to Into the Night, an anxiety inducing French show about a plane trying to out run the apocalypse. The biggest winners were Watchmen and Schitts Creek, two superlative seasons of television that won five awards a piece. Now without further ado, here are my choices for the best of 2019-2020 tv in my personal Emmy ballot.
