American Horror Story: Freak Show - ''Monsters Among Us'' - Ryan Murphy
Ever since this series debuted four seasons ago, it has been a strong contender in the category, but has yet to win. Producer Ryan Murphy lobbied the TV Academy that first year to be included here rather than in the drama series race and the decision in his favor has resulted in almost permanent residence in this category. This fourth-season edition, Freak Show, revolved around the struggles of one of the last remaining tent attractions of its kind and, as always, featured a stellar cast. But the show was not considered this series’ finest hour and drew mixed critical notices. Still, it won 19 nominations, the second biggest total of any program in any category this year, so don’t count it out.
