    One of the best season finales I've seen in a long time.

    Damn. That was awesome.

          Not sure I like the whole Paige thing, but the finale overall was great. Damn. I do like how the issue is going to create further division between Phillip and Elizabeth.

            I wonder if we'll ever see Nina again. Gotta think Oleg's going to try to pull some strings.

            I'm glad that they had that scene with Claudia as it really helped explain what Jared revealed.

            Martha with a gun? Lookout Clark!

                I just went through seasons 1 and 2 finishing up with the season 2 finale this evening. This show is just too damn good.

                  You got that right.

                  I wish the ratings were better. I know FX stands behind the show (and lowly rated Louie) but when you dip below a million viewers for an episode, that's not encouraging. Also, with close to 100 shows already renewed for the 2015-2016 season, and The Americans (and Louie) not among them, that's cause for some concern.

                  Yeah, I think there is a great chance for renewal, but you wonder if they can squeeze a 5th season out, if the numbers are not there again.

                    Are they still waiting for the season 4 greenlight?

                    I haven't checked to see if the current season is on DVR (fingers crossed), but I wouldn't say no to paying to stream it either.

                    I feel like The Americans is to FX as Mad Men is to AMC - though Americans doesn't receive nearly the critical response or accolades.

                      Yeah, it hasn't been renewed for season 4 yet. I was speculating that even if it did get renewed for #4, poor ratings might not get a 5th season.

                      U-Verse On Demand only has episodes 5-9 of the current season available. Of course ep.9 was the last one. Amazon Instant has the Season Pass in HD for $29.99.

                        Sickening that this show doesn't get the accolades that clearly lesser programming gets.

                        Sad.

                          It's been critically acclaimed, but not award-wise.

                            I really don't understand why the ratings aren't there. Its pace can be deliberate, but there's more than enough action and progression to stay on the edge of your seat. Sure, its no Sons of Anarchy, but its certainly put together a lot better.

                              Biggest mistake made with the show is that it is exclusive to Amazon Prime for streaming of old episodes. Missing out on the Netflix availability really hurts the ability to draw in new viewers. Several times I've told people you have to watch "The Americans" and they ask "Is it on Netflix?" I know they probably got a better deal from Amazon, but I think it would have been worth it to have a broader audience through Netflix.

                                Amazon Prime is well worth it but the exclusivity is a real drag. I want to watch "The Strain" but its only exclusive to HULU+
