TORONTO, July 24, 2015 /CNW/ - The Emmy® Awards are just around the corner, and while we try our best to keep up, sometimes we need a little help sorting out what to stream and what to skip. Now with the plethora of video streaming services available, catching up on buzz-worthy TV before the big awards is easier than ever – and legal too.
To get ahead in your Emmy® office pool, here are five of this year's most bingeable Emmy®-nominated hits and hidden gems, available to stream exclusively on shomi:
Transparent: The Golden Globe®-winning drama continues to garner critical support, receiving 12 Emmy® nominations including Outstanding Comedy Series, and Outstanding Lead Actor for Jeffrey Tambor, in the starring role as Maura.
