Where to watch all the Emmy Award-winning shows (and what we thought of them)

Have you heard of a little show called Widow’s Bay ? This kooky horror-comedy (that I’ve personally been raving about for months ) has just set a record for comedy wins at the Emmys.

The new series won 14 awards across the Primetime and Creative Arts Emmys, breaking the previous record set last year by The Studio .

If you still haven’t watched this word-of-mouth hit, consider this your final push to do so. But there might be a few other shows to add to your list too.

Personally, I’m inspired to finish off the gritty HBO Max thriller Task after Tom Pelphrey’s win for outstanding supporting actor. And I really should give The Diplomat a go, too. That Netflix series saw Allison Janney triumph over many supporting actors from The Pitt .

But, after Tuesday’s award show , it’s clear these six shows are the most deserving of your attention. Here’s where you can find them and what our critics thought about each series.

What it won: Everything it was nominated for. Kate O’Flynn and Stephen Root won in the supporting actor categories. Matthew Rhys took home his first Emmy for lead actor in a comedy. Series creator Katie Dippold won outstanding writing, Hiro Murai was recognised for his directing and the show, of course, won outstanding comedy. A clean sweep!

What we said about it: “Against all odds, Widow’s Bay is one of the most innovative and thoroughly entertaining shows I’ve watched this year. Scary enough for actual horror fans and consistently layered with clever comedy throughout, this 10-part series transcends its influences to create something delightful and ambitious that will have you laughing and screaming in equal measure.” Read Meg Watson’s full review or go behind the scenes with the show’s star Matthew Rhys and creator Katie Dippold .

What it won: The show won outstanding drama, and Noah Wyle was recognised as lead actor, but the show did lose other major awards – including stacked supporting categories – after dominating last year.

What we said about it: ”This much celebrated medical drama is even better in its second season, delivering the required doses of raw emotion and unflinching gore … and now operating from a more stable base of characters we already know and are ready to root for. Believe the hype. This show resonates for a reason.” Read Meg Watson’s full review or go behind the scenes with Noah Wyle on the filming of this season .

What it won: Outstanding limited or anthology series. The show also dominated in the Creative Arts Emmys earlier this month with supporting actors David Harbour and Linda Cardellini both taking home trophies for their complex roles.

What we said about it: “A quietly thoughtful and bittersweet viewing experience. Galvanised by a suspicious death, this story of male best friends – where one of the men is secretly having an affair with the other’s wife – can play as a drily black comedy or a suburban noir.
