Emmy nominations are coming up. Voters shouldn't overlook these shows

For TV critics, it's never too soon to begin complaining about the Emmy awards. And, as voting for nominations wraps up Monday among TV Academy members, a few issues threaten to hobble the quality of this year's nominees.The biggest problem, of course, is volume. Thanks to the tremendous number of high-quality TV shows released this year, especially on streaming services, there are more performers and series turning in Emmy-worthy work than ever before. But the structure of the awards haven't kept pace with the changing quality.Not to get too technical, but the number of nominees in each category is determined by how many submissions they get from eligible TV shows. But for categories where quality has risen more than the quantity of submissions, this means lots more worthy shows are competing for the same limited number of slots – leaving more outstanding series locked out.And, of course, with all this volume, it's tough to know how many shows Emmy voters have actually seen. So, to help out, I'm going offer my own suggestions on performers and shows that might not be front-runners, but deserve the honor of a nomination this year. Here's hoping a few TV academy members have open minds and a little space left on their nomination forms.
