‘The Americans’ Take Three Top Honors at TCA Awards

The TCA (Television Critics Association) summer press tour officially ended tonight with the TCA Awards ceremony, honoring the best in the year’s tv offerings.  For the third consecutive year, FX Networks took home the most of the evening’s awards, with The Americans bringing home three.

Of this year’s awards, TCA President Daniel Fienberg said:

“This year’s TCA Awards offered the welcome opportunity to say goodbye to one of the era’s most critically acclaimed shows in The Americans, a drama that combined espionage thrills, high emotional stakes and international intrigue that couldn’t have been more current. Our other winners included new shows like Killing Eve and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, rebooted shows like Queer Eye, the anthological darkness of another American Crime Story chapter and the hopefully timeless and unending wonder of Sesame Street. As we always say, TV offers something for every audience in 2018 and if you can’t find anything to watch, you’re not trying hard enough and you need to read some more TV critics!”
