Hey all,
This is quite the first round tie. We open today with three-time winner Supernatural in a battle against fellow CW series The Flash. One might assume its historical record - having never finished outside the quarter-finals, in addition to its wins - would make the longest-running genre show a strong favourite. But this encounter may well be one of the toughest challenges the show could conceivably face at this early stage, and it seems unlikely that The Flash will go down without a fight. Whether or not the comic-book series can put up enough resistance to deliver a massive blow is yet to be seen, but watching it unfold should be very exciting.
It's then a contest between two cable dramas as Dexter and Fargo go head-to-head. The backlash received for the eighth and final season of Showtime's serial killer series is almost infamous by now, and I'm always curious about how much that bad taste affects its run in this competition - a pair of opening round exits in the last two years is not a great record. It will be interesting, then, to see how Fargo fares against it today. Making its competition debut, the FX anthology isn't short of love, and may well be able to succeed here.
