Since I have a passionate love for television, every year I create my own version of the Emmy awards (where the nominations should replace the legit ones). In this blog series, I will post one category daily and review it. I'll announce my nominations and then my winner.

The twentieth and final category is Drama Series. Throughout the last TV season, there were some good new dramas. But, it was the returning dramas that were the best. This category is tough because every show in the category is amazing. So, I had to pick the show that was most consistent with great acting, writing, directing, and more.
My nominees are:
The Americans
Game Of Thrones
Justified
Mad Men
Orange Is The New Black
Rectify
The Walking Dead
And the winner is...

Orange Is the New Black! The second season of Orange Is the New Black was phenomenal. I remember that coming into this season, a lot of the critics predicted that OITNB would be affected by the sophomore slump. However, that was not the case with new characters, new backstorys, and new dynamics that the show managed to put in place. The strongest thing about OITNB is the way that it humanizes the inmates. One great change from the shift from season one to two was that there is a narrowed focus on Piper, the lead character. The other characters get chances to shine more often and they took them. Another great thing about this season was Vee. Vee came into this season and then shit hit the fan. There weren't any weak episodes in the season and you can thank the huge ensemble for that. No matter who leaves Litchfield - there will always be stories to tell.
