“I can’t help noticing that most of the leading contenders for drama series involve characters fighting to survive situations far beyond their control,” Writes marymacTV. Read more about this year's Emmy nominations:
Even in that context, this year’s nominee list is alarming, though perhaps not surprising. Television has long been a mirror through which we examine our collective anxieties.
All too easy to adopt an us versus them mentality that justifies whatever behavior we might feel is necessary to protect ourselves and the ones we love. Television has cycled through all manner of modern social concerns, from terrorism to nostalgia; recently, much has been made of the growing reliance on superhero narratives to guide our conversation about our larger desires and fears about power. With it comes great responsibility, as people keep telling Spider-Man, but even Marvel doesn’t seem to know what that looks like, really.After ‘WandaVision’s’ rollicking start, Marvel TV has struggled to reach beyond core fans.
“Squid Game’s” horrific examination of poverty and capitalism; “Severance’s” chilling metaphor for the increasing demands of the American workplace; the growing strength of an alternate universe literally called the Upside Down in “Stranger Things”; the perils of addiction ; and the corrupt nature of the 1% — this year’s Emmy nominees all cut far closer to the bone than “The Sopranos” or “Breaking Bad” or “Game of Thrones” ever did.
