Ranking the 2025 Emmy Nominated Shows: From Least Deserving to Most Worthy
The Emmys serve as a platform for the TV industry to showcase its top picks and encourage viewers to catch up on outstanding shows they may have missed. This year, the TV Academy nominated 21 shows in categories like Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Drama Series, and Outstanding Limited Series or Anthology. While all the nominated shows are of decent quality, some stand out more than others. To help you navigate through the list, I've ranked all 21 shows from the least to the most deserving based on the season they were nominated for.
Starting with the lowest ranking show, "Black Mirror" secured 10 nominations for the 2025 Emmys. Known for its dark and thought-provoking tales about the impact of technology on society, the show returned after a hiatus since 2023. However, the familiarity of its themes and the predictability of its storytelling may have contributed to its lower placement in the rankings this year.
Stay tuned for the rest of the rankings to discover which shows made it to the top of the list and are considered the best of the best by the TV Academy.
