Golden Globe Musings: Best TV Series – Drama

Golden Globe nominations for this year will be announced soon, so here’s a survey of the contenders and the most likely predictions at this time. Weigh in with your thoughts, and let me know if I’ve left off anyone important. A reminder that last year’s nominees mean zilch at the Globes and that the race is almost entirely unpredictable.

Last year’s nominees:
The Affair
Downton Abbey
Game of Thrones
The Good Wife
House of Cards


New contenders:
Better Call Saul
Blindspot
Empire
Jessica Jones
The Man in the High Castle
Mr. Robot
Narcos
Sense8

Past nominees:
Homeland
Mad Men
Masters of Sex

All shows from last year could easily return, though I think “The Good Wife” is least likely to make the cut, and it could even be time for “Downton Abbey” to be dropped. There are a number of new contenders, most of which are from streaming services, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this ended up being an expanded category of six nominees.

Current predictions:
The Affair
Game of Thrones
House of Cards
Mr. Robot
Narcos
