The Emmy nominations for 2018 were announced last week, and there are many ways to catch up on all the nominated limited series and TV movies. Those who are subscribed to HBO, Netflix and Hulu are especially in luck, so there’s no excuse to not see some of the most celebrated series of the 2017-18 TV season.
I have compiled a list below of all the major limited series/TV movie Emmy categories with info on where you can stream them in full. Since there are several shows nominated in the technical categories as well, I am limiting this to the categories presented at this year’s main telecast.
