In Vince Gillian, today's first two competing shows have a common thread. Gilligan wrote 30 episodes for The X-Files before going on to create Breaking Bad half a decade later. They face off here for a spot in the second round. X-Files has thrice performed well in this competition, reaching the heights of fifth place twice and coming fourth in 2014. Last year, it broke a record of consecutive first round exits. Breaking Bad is considered by many to be one of the greatest shows ever made but has only ever made it into round three on one occasion, in 2016, despite featuring in every edition. Perhaps this year it can go there once again.
Westworld came in at a very respectable 19th in its debut last year, and with season two still relatively recent, it has a good chance of getting past the early rounds again. The HBO drama takes on Code Black today, with the CBS medical series appearing for the first time. It wrapped its third and final season not too long ago, and with fans still disappointed by the decision to cancel it, Code Black could be something of a dark horse, at least in the first two or three rounds.
