If there were any bright spots in the last hell-year, the TV shows we binged were definitely some of them. The Queen’s Gambit got us interested in chess again (Dad’s requested a chessboard for his birthday), Gillian Anderson was unrecognizable in The Crown, Hamilton made us finally pull the trigger on that Disney+ membership, which of course was why we cried and cheered for Wanda and the Mandalorian. And then there’s the shows we knew we needed to watch but haven’t gotten to yet (Lovecraft Country, the Boys, This is Us, Black-ish, I May Destroy You….yeah, we’re really bad at TV sometimes. Also why didn’t anyone tell us Evan Peters was in Mare of Easttown?) so now our watch list is a whole lot longer.
Keep reading for the full list of this year’s Emmy nominations.
