Dark Winds (AMC)

WHY IT DESERVES A NOD: AMC’s 1970s-set crime/mystery drama isn’t big, it isn’t splashy. It knows exactly what it is, yet exhibits an impressive efficiency in storytelling. Season 2 made the stakes for Joe Leaphorn painfully personal, as the Navajo lawman locked horns with two men who were directly involved in his son’s years-ago murder. Throw in compelling details about Navajo culture, a stunning Badlands backdrop, perfectly doled-out dashes of humor and a smidgen of romance, and you have one of TV’s most well-rounded dramas. — Matt Webb Mitovich
Yes The Way Home deserves a nomination. As does Chyler Leigh who does an amazing job conveying emotional scenes. The whole cast deserves to be nominated: Evan Wlliams, Andi, as well as Sadie. So much talent within this ensemble cast.
Would be amazing If Dark Winds and Will Trent actually happen . Sadly I think very little chance either is. They join list shows with no Emmys. Better call Saul , The Wire , Rectify And Halt and Catch fire. All four among ten best shows ever.
I still maintain THE BEAR is a better fit here than in Best Comedy. Maybe it wins, maybe it doesn’t. But if you thought “Fishes” was a laugh riot, I’m genuinely concerned about your family gatherings.

I’d also love to see SUGAR get some love. Don’t know if it’s eligible for these Emmy Awards or for next year. But that was some solid acting and one hell of a twist.
