2018 Outstanding Drama Series Emmy Predictions

“The Americans” returned to the fold for its final season, but it looks like “The Handmaid’s Tale” will repeat as Drama Series champion.  Granted, there has been much more grumbling about how difficult the show is to watch in these turbulent times and it’s unclear how the polarizing season two finale settled with voters.  That might open the door for previous winner “Game of Thrones” as well as favorites “This Is Us” and “The Crown.”  [Updated July 17]
