The Emmys are a celebration of the best that television has to offer. And these days, there simply are too many shows and not enough hours in a day to watch them all.
Emmy voters have a tendency to nominate familiar, flashy shows that attract a lot of attention ("Game of Thrones," "This Is Us"), but they occasionally take a chance something new and exciting.
Winners won't be announced until September 17, which gives you plenty of time to check out these Emmy-worthy shows you might have missed.
