It had to be this way at some point. Motherland Fort Salem and Almost Paradise took the nomination stage of the Episode Competition by storm, and Motherland cruised to victory in the main competition. They are the two finds of 2020, and so it's fitting that they should face each other here. Almost Paradise had perhaps the tougher challenge in round one, having to beat The Witcher, but from what we've seen this year from these two shows, it's anybody's game.
We end round two with Dark, in this stage for the second-straight year but having finished 32nd last year. Previous results in this round would suggest the Netflix series will at least achieve its best finish, even if it's eliminated. But, of course, progression is very much on the cards. Once Upon a Time debuted with a bang in 2012 as runner-up, but in seven attempts since it has never gone further than round two, in one of the starkest records of any show to feature over the years.
