LOS ANGELES — The last couple of years I've had to jettison a couple of my annual Emmy screeds, grievances I've harbored and held close to my heart. Here's one: Last year, Television Academy voters finally nominated Rhea Seehorn for her indelible work as attorney Kim Wexler in "Better Call Saul," erasing an oversight that was as lengthy as it was inexplicable. She's all but a shoo-in to be nominated again for the show's final season.
And now this year, I'm going to have to put aside my usual tirade about how the Television Academy needs to expand the number of nominees for limited series, home to television's most creative and boundary-pushing work. It's not that there was any shortage of shows vying for viewers' — and voters' — attention. But there wasn't a "White Lotus" or "Watchmen" or "Big Little Lies" or "Mare of Easttown" in the bunch.
The good news? There won't be a sweep. The bad news? There's not as much intrigue. Unless you really like shows about serial killers. Then this is really your year!
