Entertainment site Collider has published an opinion piece by writer Chance Morgan highlighting acclaimed television series that, despite their quality, have never received a single Emmy nomination. The article argues that in an era of "good TV overload", the Television Academy inevitably overlooks worthy programmes, and it seeks to celebrate shows it believes were unfairly ignored.

Among the titles discussed are Showtime's finance thriller Billions (2016–2023), starring Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti; Starz's popular crime drama Power (2014–2020), which spawned four spin-offs but no nominations; HBO's short-lived San Francisco-set drama Looking (2014–2015), praised as ahead of its time; and FX's 1980s crack-epidemic drama Snowfall (2017–2023), co-created by John Singleton. The piece suggests factors such as airing on less prominent networks and limited viewership may have contributed to the shows being passed over.
