The holder, Person of Interest, extended its winning streak to 19 by beating Agents of SHIELD in the first round. Should it claim the trophy for a fourth straight year it will take that run to 24. Already it is a record for this competition and you surely wouldn't bet against the CBS series from continuing its charge. Its road through this year's competition is not easy, though, with it facing Firefly today. The former ABC show ended its round one hoodoo by progressing to this stage for the first time since 2015, but it hasn't been into the third round since 2013. Getting there this time will not be a cakewalk.
Buffy's victory over Supergirl in the first round was pretty comfortable, and that should surprise no one. Its record since its debut has been very good with its earliest exit in the third round since finishing 43rd back in 2010. Buffy is one of those shows that remains there or thereabouts, but would be considered an outsider for the crown. Arrow has only reached that stage once, in 2015, and is vying to do so again. It beat Sense8 in round one but you'd suspect Buffy will not keel over quite so easily.
