Louis Chilton: Despite some surprises, Emmys results show exactly what modern TV is lacking
"There was a time when great shows like 'The Sopranos' and 'Game of Thrones' could rack up awards year after year To the surprise of no one, the big winner during Sunday night's Emmys was Adolescence. The four-episode British drama, about a radicalised teenage boy who murders a female classmate, was met with wall-to-wall praise when it debuted on Netflix in March, dominating news headlines and instigating wide-ranging public debate."
"On Sunday it swept the US's most prestigious TV awards ceremony, winning trophies in all six of the major categories for which it was nominated. It was a testament to the power and reach of the British TV industry, just one year after Baby Reindeer enjoyed a similarly prolific haul."
