Since the start of 2015, FX has been host to the most critically acclaimed limited series (“Fargo”), the most acclaimed serial drama (“The Americans”), one of the most critically acclaimed comedies (“Louie”) and a highly praised and popular phenomenon (“The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story”). According to scores from Metacritic, a website that aggregates critics’ reviews, FX at the moment is better than every one of the big names: cable outlets such as HBO, Showtime and AMC – the network of “Breaking Bad” and “Mad Men” – as well as the video-streaming services, Netflix and Amazon. In July FX won more Emmy nominations than Netflix. In August it was the biggest winner at the Television Critics Association awards.
