Honestly, if HBO’s “Watchmen” doesn’t win this category the Television Academy has a problem. If its love for genre only goes as far as medieval fantasy (“Game of Thrones”) and slightly futuristic scenarios (“Westworld”), than Damon Lindelof’s modern classic will get screwed. In theory, it should win the top prize after landing 26 Emmy nominations. But, Netflix’s “Unbelievable” and “Unorthodox” are aiming to upset. Can they pull it off? [Updated August 30]
