A common question for many television viewers is: What should I watch?
With all the available channel options and original shows on cable and streaming, it seems like there’s a new series to start watching every day. While it can be hard to know where to start, the recent announcement of the Emmy nominations has shown us which shows stood above the rest and are therefore being considered for the coveted Emmy award.
The 76th Emmy Awards are scheduled for Sunday, September 15 on ABC, which means there’s plenty of time to catch up on this year’s Emmy nominees before the awards show. FX’s Shōgun, FX’s The Bear, Hacks, Only Murders in the Building and Baby Reindeer are major contenders, leading the nominations. They should definitely be on your must-watch list.
