AFI TV PROGRAMS OF THE YEAR
One fairly surprising omission is, of course, HBO’s Westworld. Insecure should have been on this list as well. The AFI did recognize new shows Stranger Things and This Is Us.
Gone from the list are Homeland and Mr. Robot, two significant Emmy contenders. Will these absences prove troublesome for the 2017 Emmy cycle? We’ll know more with the Golden Globe and SAG awards. I would have expected Westworld to make this list though.
