Emmy-Nominated Series to Binge Before the Big Show11 of 18
"Mrs. America" | Stream Now on Hulu
Why It's Worth the Binge: Cate Blanchett hadn't starred in a TV show for more than 20 years until entering the streaming era with "Mrs. America," where she portrays Phyllis Schlafly, the conservative activist who helped derail the Equal Rights Amendment in the 1970s. The 9-episode limited series isn't merely a historical artifact, it's an origin story for a movement that stands firmly on one side of the current societal divide in America. Blanchett and her uniformly excellent co-stars are up for a total of 10 Emmys, including Uzo Aduba as Congresswoman and Presidential hopeful Shirley Chisholm. If the subject matter seems too tough to bear, keep your focus on Sarah Paulson's performance as Alice Macray, a fictional character who brightens the corners of the story. — Arno
