Despite an ongoing campaign by this fine website to convince the world Emmy voters in particular to introduce a glimmer of joy into increasingly apocalyptic days by accepting Jane the Virgin into your hearts, one of televisions most consistently excellent hours was snubbed this bright morning when the nominees for this years Emmy Awards were announced.
Instead, Emmy voters really committed to shows that even fans report are so bleak you kind of wonder why youre still watching them (The Handmaids Tale); that generally make headlines for making its fans cry (This is Us); and that no one seems to actually like or understand, least of all the people who watch it (Westworld).
But let us see the glass half-full of vodka, for this websites fine readers have also arrived extremely early to the The Americans is the best show on TV party. So early, in fact, that no one had even yet set out the snacks or filled the punch bowl. Chairs were still upside-down on tables. We waited here alone, season after season, for any other guests to show up.
