Re: The Americans

So glad this is back. Not sure FX has ever had a better overlapping 3 shows than Legion, The Americans, and Fargo. Hell of a run these next several months.

    I was late to the party on this one but holy shit, this show is great. So many layers and great scenes. I finished season 4 a few weeks ago and am still loving it. Most of the characters are well done as well - mainly Phillip, Elizabeth, Stan and Gad. Also love the way they worked real history into this one and did not just make shit up. It is strange though, sometimes I find myself torn between rooting for the Russians or the Americans because the Russian characters are so good. So looking FWD to the 5th season to see how the rest plays out.


    SPOILER ALERT:

    Hope they'd dump annoying Martha all together, she is an awful character - ditto with Stan's wackjob wife. Sucks they wrote out Oleg, killed off Neena, killed off Gad and appear to have written out Arkady - all of them were damn good characters.

    That scene was great, Phillip letting her pound away by covering the room with the guards weapon no less. Better was the next time granny see's Elizabeth and she tells granny something like "I'm sorry I didn't kill you old lady, there's MY apology."

    Yeah, I have been doing the same. No idea how I had not seen this until a few months ago.

    Not really sure how I feel about this season. Seems to be a lot of "life is crappy" in Russia visuals. Intrigued how the Oleg storyline plays out but that's about it. Enough with Pastor Tim, Tuan, and the Russian linguist story lines.

    Fair warning to any readers out there. The writer and director of this series (Joseph Weisberg) was a former CIA officer. Once I got hooked on this show I snagged a copy of his book "An Ordinary Spy" and it is utterly unreadable. The whole book (a novel no less) is more redacted than a government document. They even censored out the name of CIA headquarters, as if no one in the world has ever heard of Langley!

    The series premiere is so good. Fleetwood Mac and Phil Collins... good stuff.

    Philip beating the shit out of that dude that said something to his daughter at the mall. Also good stuff.

    No spoilers but season 5 was largely a dud for me. They need to get back to what made the show so good and stop with the nonsense and implausible stuff. They also need to just write Martha out somehow and remember that most of us do not care what is going on in Russia. Lets get back to the dynamic of the 'normal' American family living across the street from the FBI agent along with scenes from both the Soviet Consulate and the FBI building.
