Hey all,
Agents of SHIELD is currently enduring a 14 month hiatus and its prolonged absence might have something to do with its position as the seventh-most nominated current series this year. In four years, its lowest finish is 14th in 2015, with two quarter-final appearances so far. Certainly, it's no slouch — and, as a Marvel series, nothing less would be expected. But it has a real task on its hands today because Person of Interest, the three-time consecutive winner and current holder. This is the first time since 2014 — the last year it didn't win — that it hasn't been in the top eight of either category, and while this is by no means an easy contest, it could have been much tougher. The seeded series do get a slightly easier time of it by avoiding the other seeds in the early rounds; victory today would be a reminder of just how well Person of Interest performs in these competitions.
iZombie has two appearances in the competition, making its debut in 2016 and reaching the second round both times. You could argue it's the least popular of the eight CW shows in the competition this year, but that doesn't mean it's to be underestimated. It faces Firefly today, one of the competition's few ever-presents. The short-lived series came third in 2011 but has been eliminated in the first round for the past two years. We're now 15 years on from its cancellation, and a better performance is needed.
