Game of Thrones brushed aside The Defenders to reach the second round, a feat it has only failed to achieve once before in 2014. Not since 2015 has it made the quarter-finals, and its next obstacle today is Pretty Little Liars. The ABCFamily-turned-Freeform series went past The Leftovers to reach this stage for the first time in its fourth attempt. This is now unchartered territory for Pretty Little Liars and having been the clear favourite for that round one tie, it will be interesting to see how it performs at this new stage.
LOST's last three years have seen it put in its three worst performances in this competition but after beating Grey's Anatomy in the first round, it's easy to wonder whether it could hit former heights once again. It's still early, of course, and it has to get past The Expanse today. On debut, the Syfy series beat Poldark in the first round but this will be a much bigger test; you'd imagine if it can progress here, it would be a real statement of intent.
