These shows dominated the 21st century Emmys.
Dozens of shows have been nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series in the 21st century, but only 11 have won. The Outstanding Drama Series winners in the 21st century also marked a change in the landscape of television, as every winner of the award has been a serial drama, meaning shows that have a continuing, unfolding plot episode-to-episode. Even in the 1990s, the award category was dominated by episodic, procedural dramas like L.A. Law and ER.

5 Lost Running for six seasons, Lost was a massive show at its peak, dominating network television viewership, and forever changing the landscape of television. From its first season, which won the series the Outstanding Drama Series Emmy, Lost became a series that TV fans could obsess over.
