It's not Emmy bait. They don't like weird genre stuff. It could pick up some, like probably some sound editing/music usage, etc. (I think this show has the most effective use of music of any show I'm watching on TV, as in this show would be a joy to mix). I hesitate to say it would get any sound mixing notice, because it's so LAV heavy, but outside of the dialog, this is an Emmy caliber mix. I doubt they'll give it something like Cinematography because it's trying really hard to do something different (would put it in a try hard state), and because of that it's often extremely distracting in the scenes (the audience shouldn't be thinking of the shots while people are talking).
I think its best chance might be in writing, but this show has really changed (in my opinion) from its original structure and it's often a very confusing show. Basically put this show as a low rent Hannibal (excelling in a lot of crafts), but not likely to get much notice if shows like Rectify or Hannibal can't get any notice. It has the "buzz" factor, but it's not a high rated show which definitely hurts its chances in that regard, since that just means it's fake buzz.
