Re: The Americans (FX)
I get that. It's that every episode seems to start with them back in love before something else happens that causes them to distrust each other.
It's a small complaint. I love everything else about the show and am enjoying it very muchComment

Re: The Americans (FX)
Yeah, it's a great show in true FX tradition.
There's give and take, but Phillip is much more willing to admit his feelings than Elizabeth is. I like the evolving dynamic between the two, and then there's the great spy stuff.Comment

Re: The Americans (FX)
What I'm saying is that we're already past the halfway point, and it feels like we just started. And that sucks.
But 24 is my favorite drama ever, so 24 episodes a season spoils you.Comment

Re: The Americans (FX)
You think 13 is short? Try USA's 10+6 seasons where they split a season and you have to wait months to get the last 6. It's over before it began! At least I'm getting all of them together here.Comment

Re: The Americans (FX)
Two weeks? Wahh.
I agree with you guys on the wig thing. That would be awkward. Almost as awkward as the "You're a nice person" line while inside her lol.
And then the "You're a handsome person deep down line" was all kinds of cold-hearted.
I'll also echo Baughn's sentiment on the back and forth. I really haven't had a "problem" with it thus far, but Elizabeth's "I was distracted" stuff just seemed a little too on the nose and trite. I did like the divorce angle that Phillip brought up.

Because Emma Stone >>>
And because they can? Most shows don't show every episode they have in a row. I'm sure they have their reasons, but when other shows on TV take 2 and 3 weeks off at times to fill out the season, one week is fine with me. I'm traveling so worked out perfectly.Comment

Re: The Americans (FX)
Yeah most FX shows take that week off sometimes.
Sons of Anarchy did the same thing last season.
I was making references to the Phillip/Martha scene on twitter.
I kept laughing at how stale and bored he sounded right in the middle of it.Comment

Re: The Americans (FX)
Really? You prefer it over The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire, Breaking Bad, among others?
Good show, a little too "arcadey".
Even with this small a sampling I prefer The Americans to 24.Comment

Re: The Americans (FX)
Yep. Easily my favorite drama. Easily. Got bored with Boardwalk Empire after 3 episodes, Breaking Bad after 3 or 4.
