The Russians have infiltrated another election, this time the Television Critics Association.

The 2018 TCA Awards were handed out last night and the final season of FX’s The Americans took home three honors: Program of the Year, Outstanding Achievement in Drama and the individual drama prize for star Keri Russell. It capped off a lovefest the TCA has had with The Americans; it won Outstanding Achievement in Drama twice before, in 2015 and 2016, and was awarded Outstanding New Program for its freshman season in 2013. These were the show’s first Program of the Year and Individual Achievement in Drama wins.

The Americans is up for four Primetime Emmy awards next month, including Drama Series, Lead Actor in a Drama Series (Matthew Rhys) and Lead Actress in a Drama Series (Keri Russell).
