'USA Today' pushing the Emmy nomination (at number 2) on their list of the 'top 10' nominations.... (This isn't just a 'Docs' list, they put 'Fleabag' top. )
It's going to be a strange situation if we have the court dismissing Robson's appeal and at the same time gREED being awarded an Emmy for the film.
The 10 best TV shows of 2019 (so far), from 'Leaving Neverland' to 'Killing Eve'
We're only halfway through 2019, but there's already enough TV to fill your time for the rest of the year.
So far we've had dueling Fyre Festival documentaries ("Fyre" and "Fyre Fraud"), a live musical that wasn't so live ("Rent Live"), celebrities singing in poodle outfits ("The Masked Singer") and, of course, a farewell to a certain fantasy world ("Game of Thrones"). And that's all before "The Handmaid's Tale" and "Big Little Lies" returned this month.
And with Emmy nominations swiftly approaching, members of the Television Academy are currently sorting through all the TV that debuted between June 1, 2018, and May 31, 2019, to decide who deserves to win at this year's ceremony (Fox, Sunday, Sept. 22).
Before 2019 gets too far away from us, we're ranking the best TV of the year so far, including a mix of documentaries, comedies and more than one based-on-a-true-story tragedy.
2. 'Leaving Neverland' (HBO)
This year has been filled with documentaries that give voices to victims of alleged abuse, from "Lorena" to "Surviving R. Kelly." But even in this context "Neverland" stands out for its sensitive and harrowing portrayal of trauma in telling the story of two men, Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who have accused the late pop icon Michael Jackson of sexually abusing them when they were boys. Restrained but unflinching, it is the kind of documentary that lingers with you long after its credits roll.
