The nominees were:

“X-Men ’97” (Disney+)

“The Simpsons” (Fox)

“Blue Eye Samurai” (Netflix)

“Bob’s Burgers” (Fox)

“Scavengers Reign” (HBO)

From my outsider's perspective, this was a battle between Blue Eye Samurai and Scavengers Reign, with Netflix willing to put the weakest promo campaign behind Blue Eye Samurai winning out over HBO letting the superior Scavengers Reign utterly hang out to dry (after giving the series screening rights up to Netflix after all).

Joseph Bennett, Charles Huettner: Keep making great shit. You have fans. Crowd-fund if you have to. People are here for what you're serving.
- Can somebody deconstruct the first paragraph for me? Non native english speaker here.
  
  Out of the nominated shows the winner most likely would be Blue Eye Samurai or Scavengers Reign. Blue Eye Samurai won because Netflix did a small amount of advertising for it. Scavengers Reign is better but HBO Max did not advertise for it at all.
It is not that good. I hate when they hide the action because it is clear the hero would not survive.
- I enjoyed it but in spite of the action. So many life-altering injuries are healed up in days.
  
  I wouldn't have minded it that much if they didn't have a walking talking reminder that some of that shit doesn't grow back.
  
  That said... Scavenger's Reign should have won.
Heck yeah. I really enoyed this show.
I don't personally get the appeal. Based on all the recs I tried it out but had to tap out after 3 episodes of weaboo cringe.
