This same week the nominations for the 2021 Emmy Awards that will be delivered on September 19 were announced , so if you want to catch up with series that may be awarded when this date arrives, nothing like doing a little review of some of the best Netflix series that have been nominated for the Emmy 2021 and that can be seen perfectly in a weekend.
The 2021 Emmy-nominated Netflix series you can watch in a weekend
Netflix has been one of the platforms highlighted in the announcement of the Emmy nominations this year since it has received a total of 129 nominations (only surpassed by HBO which has received 130 nominations) of which 24 have been neither more nor less than for the excellent British royal drama The Crown which is the most nominated series (tying with HBO’s The Mandalorian).
Surely you have already seen The Crown and if you have not, it may be time, but the drama currently starring Olivia Colman (its cast has been changing progressively) already has four seasons of ten episodes each, so that maybe it makes you a little “heavy” to see them all in a single weekend.
However, many other Netflix series that currently have a single season or miniseries have also achieved their Emmy 2021 nomination so you can take the opportunity to watch them this Saturday and Sunday and find out if they really deserve to be nominated or not.
Bridgerton
Series that has in production with Shonda Rhimes , creator of dramas such as Grey’s Anatomy or Scandal and that is based on the books by Julia Quinn. An intense and fresh drama at the same time that it has managed to take three nominations for the main Emmy this year, among which are Best Drama (precisely competing with The Crown) and also Best Drama Actor for Regé-Jean.
The series has a total of 8 episodes that can be seen without problem in two days (and even one) and although it has already been renewed for a second season, it is known that this will tell a new story (despite the fact that some characters they will repeat their characters).
However, there will not be the aforementioned Regé-Jean who does a great job as the Duke of Hastings , one of the most sought-after bachelors in London during the Regency era (specifically in 1813) who refuses to marry but in which for what has been seen will be the young Daphne, the fourth daughter of the Bridgertons and a new “flower” of London society for which a husband is being sought. A series that is also told in the purest “Gossip Girl” style with the mystery of Lady Whistledown, the author of a scandalous newsletter that narrates all the events that take place in the series. The original voice for this character of whom we only hear his voiceover is nothing more and nothing less than that of Julie Andrews.
Cobra Kai
Cobra Kai has been a surprise in the Emmy nominations since it has been placed in the category of Best Comedy. A series that already has 3 three seasons and a total of 30 episodes but each one of them barely lasts half an hour and the truth is that they can see the “jerk” without problem.
The “grace” of the series is found in that it is born from the famous Karate Kid films of the 80s, in fact counting on its protagonists, although this time the “villain” of the films Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) is now the good guy who decides to reopen the karate dojo where he trained as a teenager.
Lady’s Gambit
The acclaimed Lady’s Gambit could not be missing from this year’s Emmy nominations. She is one of the big favorites in the category of these awards that has 18 nominations among which are “Best Limited Series” and “Best Leading Actress in a Limited Series” for Anya Taylor-Joy, who embodies a young promise of Chess in the America of the 50s and 60s.
Based on the novel of the same name , the miniseries has a total of 7 episodes that you are sure to watch one after the other once you discover this little “gem” that is in fact the most watched miniseries on Netflix in its entire history.
Indian Matchmaking
It is not a series but rather a reality that has been nominated precisely for ” Best Unstructured Reality Program ” and it is said that it could surprise and surpass the favorite, “Rupaul’s Drag Race Untucked” . A curious space that Netflix premiered in 2020 and that has a total of 8 episodes that can be seen “jerk” this weekend.
In space, we can see how the marriage consultant Sima Tamaria guides couples or marriages that have been arranged or conformed in both India and the United States.
At the time of its launch, it was widely commented on social networks for the way in which Tamaria helps couples to shape their possible marriages by opening the debate on whether it is good or not, that arranged marriages exist, something that in fact is tradition in India.
Emily in Paris
Finally, we want to recommend Emily in Paris , a comedy that Netflix premiered last year and that quickly managed to “sneak in” among the most viewed on the platform in the same way that it seems to have “sneaked in” at these Emmy Awards. Why do we say this? Well, because the critics in general have not been good for this series in which Lily Collins gives life to the young Emily who moves from the United States to Paris to work in a French marketing company.
In the fiction Collins is a friendly and cheerful young woman who seems to “clash” with French customs and also with its people. The series is an accumulation of topics about Paris and France in general that obviously did not make the French too “funny” (and many others who have seen it) so being almost forgotten, suddenly the name of Emily in Paris was trending topic days ago because there were many people who wondered how it has managed to get a nomination for the Emmy 2021 for Best Comedy.
Account for the moment, with a season of 10 episodes although it has already been renewed for a second that began filming last May.
