Netflix is campaigning for 13 shows at the Emmys that it's already canceled, including 'Daredevil' and 'American Vandal'
EMMY CATEGORY: DRAMA SERIES
"The Good Cop"
Description: "When he's not solving murders, a pathologically honest detective tries to keep an eye on his crooked but kindhearted dad."
Number of seasons: 1
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 52%
What critics said: "How you respond to The Good Cop will be determined largely by how much you embraced the 'Characters Welcome' phase of USA, although I must say that I watched most of those shows and couldn't really get through much of this one." — Brian Tallerico, RogerEbert.com
"House of Cards"
Description: "With Frank out of the picture, Claire Underwood steps fully into her own as the first woman president, but faces formidable threats to her legacy."
Number of seasons: 6
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 6): 71%
What critics said: "The self-serious drama hasn't just morphed into a Ryan Murphy fantasy sequence; it appears to have thought more holistically about what promoting women should actually look like." — Willa Paskin, Slate
"Marvel's Daredevil"
Description: "Blinded as a young boy, Matt Murdock fights injustice by day as a lawyer and by night as the Super Hero Daredevil in Hell's Kitchen, New York City."
Number of seasons: 3
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 3): 97%
What critics said: "The show may never have the spark it did in its earliest days, but it did help elevate the way stories of superheroes can be told on television. There's still progress to be made, but 'Daredevil' feels like it's on the right track." — Liz Shannon Miller, Indiewire

Number of seasons: 2
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2): 58%
What critics said: "Iron Fist's second season is infinitely more aware of the property's inherent narrative snagging points than the first, but rather than avoid them altogether, it makes a valiant effort of actually trying to mold them into something." — Charles Pulliam-Moore, io9
"Marvel's Luke Cage"
Description: "A hoodie-wearing, unbreakable ex-con fights to clear his name and save his neighborhood. He wasn't looking for a fight, but the people need a hero."
Number of seasons: 2
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2): 84%
What critics said: "There's just too much stuff to really do justice to any of it, and that lack of focus makes it tough to latch on to anything the season is trying to do." — Phil Owen, The Wrap
"Marvel's The Punisher"
Description: "A former Marine out to punish the criminals responsible for his family's murder finds himself ensnared in a military conspiracy. "
Number of seasons: 2
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 2): 58%
What critics said: "It's a shame such a wild and impulsive character is likely going out on such an underwhelming note." — Alex McLevy, AV Club
"Orange Is the New Black"
Description: "A privileged New Yorker ends up in a women's prison when a past crime catches up with her in this Emmy-winning series from the creator of 'Weeds.'"
Number of seasons: 6 (seventh and final season coming in July)
Rotten Tomatoes critic score (Season 6): 83%
