The 2015 Emmy Awards, hosted by SNL alum and Brooklyn Nine-Nine star Andy Samberg, aired Sunday night, and they were many things: hilarious, heartwarming, and v. glam (with a few notable exceptions). Mostly, however, the show supplied copious amounts of television FOMO. Seriously, have you even seen half of the nominated shows? If your answer is a hard nope, don’t worry: You’re not alone.
But that’s where Netflix comes in, people. Many of last night’s Emmy-nominated shows are streaming on Netflix right now, including the ones you’d never heard of but are now intrigued to watch. (What was life without Netflix? Answer: difficult.) Decrease your Monday productivity and check out these 14 Emmy offerings waiting in your queue at this very moment.
