The Americans was considered one of the most underrated shows on TV during its six years on the air. Hit FX series is finally getting the recognition it deserves, starting with TCA Award for Program of the Year.
TV Critics Awards were announced on Saturday and it seems the voters couldn’t resist the final season of The Americans. Spy thriller series picked up three shiny statues, more than any other show at this year’s ceremony. In addition to Program of the Year, FX show also won Outstanding Achievement in Drama and Individual Achievement in Drama, collected by the lead actress Keri Russell.
The series finale of The Americans aired on May 30 to critical acclaim. Television Critics Association isn’t the only organization to take notice of this period drama and reward its quality. The show received four Emmy nominations, but we’ll have to wait until September 17 to see if it wins any. If TV Critics Awards are indicator of anything, it should do pretty well despite tough competition.
