11 Emmy-Winning Shows You Can Stream on Netflix Right Now

You're probably scrambling to get through the last few episodes of your pre-2019 Emmys binge so you're caught up on all the shows nominated this year, but what if you just... stop and watch Netflix instead?

There's no law that says you have to have watched every show that received an Emmy nomination this year, and if it's too daunting of a task to undertake with only a few weeks to go before the big ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 22, there's no harm in giving up. Especially if you give up to watch some already come-and-gone Emmy shows on the streaming service.

Netflix is home to dozens of different series that have taken home Emmys over the years, whether they be Netflix originals or OG broadcast series. And Netflix has a ton of the latter series, from ones that swept all the major categories over the years to a few that are still up-and-coming with their accolades.

Cregg show considering that Janney took home multiple Emmys in both the Supporting Actress and Lead Actress categories over the show's seven seasons. But the jackal aside, the show was a landmark series for what a behind-the-scenes look at the White House could be, and with Aaron Sorkin's witty walk-and-talk dialogue, it's now a cultural touchstone.

They're quickly going to become regular and repeat viewings for you.

7. Master of None

Emmys won: Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series (x2); Outstanding Single-Camera Picture Editing for a Comedy Series

Why you should watch: With only two seasons under its belt, Netflix's Master of Nonehas snagged two Emmys for Outstanding Writing. Its second win, for Aziz Ansari and Lena Waithe, was groundbreaking, with Waithe becoming the first black woman to snag the award.

Why you should watch: Way back when, before Cumberbatch and Freeman were major stars in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, they were just Holmes and Watson trying to solve crimes in present day. Sherlock is unlike any other Sherlock Holmes series you've ever seen, and it may or may not return in the future (no one knows!).

Cathey, Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series; Outstanding Directing for a Drama Series; Outstanding Music Composition for a Series (Original Dramatic Score) (x2); Outstanding Sound Mixing for a Comedy or Drama Series (One Hour); Outstanding Cinematography for a Single-Camera Series; Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series

10. Shameless

Emmys won: Joan Cusack, Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series; Outstanding Stunt Coordination for a Comedy Series or a Variety Program (x2)

Why you should watch: It might not have the most Emmys out there, but Shamelessis still a beloved series (and it's a Showtime series you can watch on Netflix, and that's important). There's also something to be said about the fact that it's winning Emmys for stunt coordination, because you don't expect that from a William H. Macy-led series.

11.Ask the StoryBots

Emmys won: Outstanding Interactive Media - Enhancement to a Daytime Program or Series; Outstanding Directing in a Preschool Animated Program; Outstanding Special Class Animated Program; Outstanding Writing for a Preschool Animated Program.

You're definitely sleeping on StoryBots.
