Sherlock's rebranding as a finished show for this year, given the perpetual uncertainty over whether more will be made, did not adversely affect it in the nomination stage. It was, in fact, one of the top eight nominated finished shows. Last year, it finished 16th after two years out. House returns after missing out in 2018. It has only made the third round on one occasion, in 2014, taking 16th place. Not since 2010 has it been knocked out in the first round, so this should be an intriguing poll.
We end round one with Hawaii Five-0, which is back after a five-year absence. Its record in the competition got progressively worse back then: having not qualified after its first season, the CBS remake then finished tenth, 25th, and 50th. Today, it faces The Leftovers, which in three appearances has never won a tie. Last year, it was 35th in the rankings.
