They have a lot more strong shows in the drama category, though.

I mean, Pachinko is a downright masterpiece and they haven’t promoted it at all. For All Mankind is consistently praised by the critics and beloved enough to be one of the 2 only Apple shows to get a spinoff. Drops of God is also critically acclaimed, and so was Dark Matter.

They don’t lack strong shows. They lack shows that make it into the pop culture and become water cooler talks. Apart from Ted Lasso, it feels like Severance could really become just that. I’ve seen more and more medium to big YouTube reactors watch season 1 recently. Channels like Blind Wave have started reacting to it, which I never thought they would.

Pachinko should have all the accolades Shogun is getting right now, both shows have Anna Sawai too. It’s so annoying they have so much potential.

Severance is absolutely brilliant but probably too high concept for the predictable voters. I wish they would reward them too.
