Critic Consensus: Host Seth Meyers acquits himself fine by playing strictly to his strengths as a monologuing comedian, but a parade of repeat victors makes this Emmys feel like a rerun.

Amid profound changes in how, where, and why we watch television, the medium's flagship organization seemed confused as to which "Golden Age" to celebrate.
For shows and actors that are going on and on and on, it can be hard not to wish for something different. Not because the winners aren't deserving, but because it would be an opportunity for someone new to hold a statue on stage.
The predictable lethargy, the inevitable inertia of the Emmys and the parade of familiar winners obscured what was a very professional and adeptly delivered performance from Seth Meyers.
The problem with [Seth Meyers'] hosting performance had less to do with his material, and more to do with his dry and stiff delivery. He didn't quite connect with the audience, never owned the room.
A staggering amount of good television was acknowledged in the telecast on NBC, even if the show itself dragged, with the most love heaped on "Breaking Bad" as a going-away prize.
Rimshot? More like Nyquil.
