I’m not much for an awards person but I often use the list of nominees and winners, if I want to watch something new. This is one of the reason why I started watching “The Bear” and “Succession,” shows that took home the Outstanding Comedy and Drama Series last year.
“True Detective: Night Country” and “Shōgun” are already in our radar so I might as well checkout these shows.
